ENG215H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Alice Munro, The Yellow Wallpaper, Southern Ontario Gothic
Document Summary
What the fuck is the difference between a memoir and an autobiography: ignored my awkward hand raising. Life doesn"t follow an obvious chronological pattern your life is not like a status bar where you more from zero to a hundred. Life is not always entertaining even successful people have long periods of dryness" in their lives not a conventional and gripping plot narrative. Our present state of affairs is not always explainable in regards to who we are and who we become. You"re going to leave things out that you don"t want anyone to know things you want to emphasize will be more prominent. You pick and chose the vents that you want to explain your life (if you do it chronologically) In this story none of the memories build like they would traditionally you jump from place to place: thrown together like a collection of things, page 792, a bunch of memories thrown together.
