AmandaHickmanMemoirReflection


 * I chose to write about a family occurance for my memoir. As I was growning up, family was the main focus of my life. My brother and I always had eachother to play with, so it was basically just my mom, dad, brother, and I all the time. Also, it was an important memory because it involved my mom's involvement in our playing and goofing around which was very seldom of an occurance.
 * I planned the writign by first writing a vaigue, quick description of the memory, and then I added in description. I used the main parts of the story to branch off and create the picture of what was actually happening.
 * I recieved feedback to make the point more clear about how my mom never joined in on our fun. It helps convey the reasoning as to why it was so memorable.
 * I revised all throughout my writing. After I would write a portion of the memoir, I would read it and add more description wherever I felt it necessary.
 * As a finality, the final form taught me how much description is actually needed for a reader to fully understand the memoir.
