Memoir/Personal Narrative

A MEMOIR IS:

Writing that highlights a meaningful moment or

moments from the author's past.

• A memoir is not intended to be a documentation of

• facts, like an autobiography.

• A memoir should be written in the narrative format.

• A memoir should include the writer's feelings

• about the event, when he or she is looking back on

• it--retrospective.
