Journal 6 - My Memoir

What do I hope to gain from writing a memoir?  Writing a memoir is new to me, something that I am not familiar with. But, from what I have learned so far in this class is that a memoir is based on observation, truth and emotion that has given me a different viewpoint on life in general. So when writing this memoir I want the reader to experience how major life changes to my family was a challenge, a blessing and life altering.  I plan to share these elements being direct, but yet truthful, with the intent of being able to have the reader relate to the memoir.  More importantly, I hope to set a tone that is consistent throughout the entire memoir. The tone that I want my reader to experience is one that conveys details and is very descriptive with the hope of the reader relating to my memoir.
