Short Memoir Analysis

I’m sure many have shared stories of their high school experiences and can relate when I say those four years have taught me many lessons. During this time, I’d come face to face with the fraudulent friendships, temporary romances, and other high school dramas that my parents once warned me about—those of which I simply brushed off as myths. It wasn’t the 90’s anymore— times have changed and people are different—or at least, that’s what I thought.

My memoir tells the story of two very excited teenagers going on a camping trip. These two teens are me and my friend, Zach. During this trip, everything that could have gone wrong, does. The story is told in a series of key events among that weekend that were just one disaster after another, followed by optimistic attitudes, continuously searching for the positive in each situation. The audience that I will be able to reach with this narrative is very broad. A younger audience will be easy to appeal to because this is the age of adventure and making mistakes. In addition to this, an older audience can be acknowledged because I believe one is never too old for adventure. That is shown through the inclusion of the women that were the ones to

Final minutes of the first half winding down, my team was marching down the field with a purpose. Across the gridiron was our rival team, Mayfield, who we had beat the previous year in the state championship game. It was a cold November night and the stage was set, playing on their home field, “The Field of Dreams,” in Las Cruses, New Mexico in the semi-finals of the state tournament. Up 14-0, we had the ball and were trying to score before going into halftime. I was handed the ball for a running play and then it happened. Falling to the ground as if I had been shot, I had completely torn my hamstring. I was in complete shock as I lay on the ground. As the pain

Yeah, I directed an episode of Haven in its last season. And that was something I had always been working toward even before I worked on Haven. I've shadowed directors as much as I could and as long as I could in the hopes of one day getting to direct myself. And that actually came to pass, and the experience was beyond my wildest dreams. It was just incredible. I loved it. I was terrified and just completely overwhelmed the whole time with a combination of sheer terror and pure joy. It was amazing.

With a plane, I’d escape away. I chose this for my 6 word memoir for multiple reasons. First and foremost I really enjoy flying. I use to be in the Civil Air Patrol where I got glider lessons and ended up soloing a glider. Nowadays a just fly for the enjoyment of it. The second reason that I put is that I love adventures that are unplanned. It’s not that I don't enjoy school but I hate getting into a routine and during the school years that's all my life feels like. There’s no real excitement.

I have recently read “A Clack of Tiny Sparks” and I am astonished at the amount of detail that what you have encompassed in this memoir. The general implication of this memoir was that although you are happy now, you wonder how things would turn out if you had embraced you sexuality sooner. However, the encounters you have in environment, provides readers with an understanding of why you kept your sexuality a secret. The indirect way of telling your story leads readers a need to uncover how you feel and what you were thinking in that moment. Your main tool for doing this was using substitution and other characterizations to convey these feelings and thoughts.

I picked this certain six word memoir, because my family means everything to me. I look at family as if I didn't have them I would have nothing. They're my lifeline. I would not let anything happen to my family. I protect them as much as possible. My cousin Avery had cancer at the age of 7 and it hit my family hard. That is why I chose the picture I did, because I wanted to show that even though some family's do fight sometimes, we can still come together for something we are all passionate about and someone we all value as a family.

When people ask about our wedding, even though, we have fond memories and fine photos we don’t have too much to say, just enough, because our moment in the sun has carried forward to our new day and we actually have more to say about where we are going together than where we have been.
