Memoir Readings

Memoir by Katelyn Saxton
I would summarize Katelyn's memoir as being very interesting. She has always wanted to be a singer and perform for people her whole life, well since elementary school. Her greatest inspiration was the Little Mermaid. I learned that Katelyn is a singer and has always loved to sing.Her grandparents live Florida and she loved visiting them because they always took her to Witchi- Watchi, which is an amusement park that she said "is similar to sea world but ten times better." The author kept it short and simple and got straight to the point. I thought it was so adorable how the Little Mermaid has been her inspiration.

My Memoir by Steven Seharzer
Steven's memoir was very, very interesting. It was about his family and the way the family as a whole as pushed him to pushed psychology. When I say pushed I don't mean by that's what they want him to study but more as their actions have lead him to want to study the human psyche. I learned that Steven has an abnormal family. he is a psychology major because he wants to know why his family is the way they are. He recently lost his grandmother and grandfather; and shared the horrible memory of the way his family reacted. Steven gave a brief background on everybody that he mentioned in the memoir and then gave one big example of when his family was at its worst. I think he tied the whole paper up very well in the conclusion and I loved the great detail throughout the memoir.
