In class, we are about to write memoirs. Memoirs are not very hard to write, but I would say the biggest difficulty about them is choosing what the topic will be. Another difficulty is the much needed use of describing words while writing one to keep the reader engaged. Memoirs are memorable by the way the author ties the story in. The author of a memoir must keep it interesting for a reader to remember it.
In a memoir, you want to use a lot of imagery and describing words. To make a memoir memorable, you must use words to appeal to the readers senses. You want to make the reader picture the memory and be able to imagine the scene. You want to capture the memory from all senses to make the reader intrigued to read on. I like to use a lot of sensory words in my writing in general, so I don't believe this will be much of a challenge for me.
There are many topics a memoir could be written about. You can choose to write on a subject to trigger the readers' emotions, or write on a subject to keep the reader on their toes. I could write a memoir on experiences in school, childhood memories, or from experiences which have changed my life and made me the person I am today. I have a wide array of topics which I am choosing from to write about.
