Memoirs are a great way to teach lessons in real life through a personal story or experience. They are an excellent tool to use if an author wants to offer the reader insights about mistakes he has made in the past and wants to help them avoid making the same mistakes. Most memoirs involve self-reflection when the author wants to find a deeper meaning or purpose in his life by tracing back to his past experiences.
By telling our own stories, people (friends and family) get to understand us better. Through memoirs, readers can personally connect with the author and may even have insight of himself and his life. Through writting a memoir, the author's past is revealed like a confession which always leaves the reader with something deeper than a good story to delve into.

Good point, Hailey. I like the way you explained that memoirs can be used to help others learn from your mistakes. I also liked the way you explained the fact that memoirs can give people a sense of who you are. So you beleive that memoirs are much more than just a memory written down on paper, that they're much deeper than that.
I agree with everything you said. I really liked the point you made when you said people can get to know you better by reading you memoire, and I think that is totally true. and also i agree that memoires are more than just a story.
Good job. I liked how you spoke on the reason of self reflection i did not think of that. It really makes a lot of sense. Something that we both wrote about is the how the reader can learn a lesson from the authors mistakes. I agree with what you had to say.
