Memoir

The memoir that I have chose to talk about is called Christmas by Talik B. from New Jersey. One thing that really makes this memoir great is how detailed it is and how it put you in the persons shoes just by all the details about how the person feels, their surroundings and their moods. An example would be about her and talking about feeling her eyelids open and then noticing the light on the writers digital clock. Also, the writer is very specific about the surroundings so we feel that we are there and experiencing it. An example would be when she notices that the time is 3:46 on the writers digital clock. There is also a decent amount of dialogue where characters or people interact. Also, the words are not just saying what they are saying. They are basically having a conversation within the memoir which makes it feel realistic. The author also makes it seem more like we are there because the writer will be talking and just telling what happened, but then the writer would stop the story and start to talk about how she feels about a certain thing.  An example would be that she starts to think in her head that she doesnt care that poeple tell her about getting good grades.
