Memoir​ ​Key​ ​Features​ ​Notes
Memoir​ ​vs​ ​Autobiography
- Memoir​ ​is​ ​not​ ​the​ ​same​ ​thing​ ​as​ ​an​ ​autobiography
- A​ ​memoir​ ​is​ ​a​ ​story​ ​from​​ ​a​ ​life​ ​while​ ​an​ ​autobiography​ ​is​ ​a​ ​story​ ​of​​ ​a​ ​life
- A​ ​memoir​ ​is​ ​how​ ​to​ ​remember​ ​one’s​ ​life,​ ​while​ ​an​ ​autobiography​ ​is​ ​history
Types​ ​of​ ​Memoir
- Misery​ ​Memoir​ ​-​ ​Writer​ ​tells​ ​of​ ​a​ ​part​ ​of​ ​his​ ​life​ ​in​ ​which​ ​he​ ​experienced​ ​great​ ​hardship
- Confessional​ ​Memoir​ ​-​ ​Writer​ ​tells​ ​of​ ​a​ ​grave​ ​mistake​ ​and​ ​the​ ​consequences;​ ​may​ ​or
may​ ​not​ ​involve​ ​experiencing​ ​an​ ​epiphany​ ​or​ ​changing​ ​his​ ​life​ ​dramatically
- Transformational​ ​Memoir​ ​-​ ​Writer​ ​experiences​ ​something​ ​that​ ​changes​ ​him​ ​permanently
- Travel​ ​Memoir​ ​-​ ​Writer​ ​tells​ ​of​ ​travel-related​ ​experience,​ ​but​ ​it’s​ ​more​ ​personal​ ​than​ ​other
travel​ ​writing
Point​ ​of​ ​View
- Memoir​ ​is​ ​told​ ​from​ ​first​ ​person​ ​point​ ​of​ ​view​ ​-​ ​“I”
- The​ ​narrator​ ​is​ ​the​ ​protagonist
- The​ ​narrator​ ​becomes​ ​a​ ​developed​ ​character​ ​-​ ​the​ ​main​ ​“actor”​ ​in​ ​the​ ​story
Memoir​ ​as​ ​a​ ​Literary​ ​Work
- Themes​ ​-​ ​A​ ​memoir​ ​will​ ​have​ ​a​ ​theme​ ​or​ ​themes​ ​that​ ​bind​ ​the​ ​work​ ​together
- Structure​ ​-​ ​Although​ ​structures​ ​can​ ​vary,​ ​the​ ​memoirist​ ​pays​ ​careful​ ​attention​ ​to​ ​how​ ​the
memories​ ​are​ ​arranged
...

- Style​ ​-​ ​Writers​ ​of​ ​memoir​ ​employ​ ​literary​ ​devices​ ​and​ ​use​ ​vivid​ ​imagery​ ​to​ ​capture​ ​the
essential​ ​part​ ​of​ ​their​ ​memory
How​ ​much​ ​is​ ​fact?​ ​How​ ​much​ ​is​ ​fiction?
- In​ ​a​ ​memoir,​ ​the​ ​author​ ​stands​ ​behind​ ​his​ ​or​ ​her​ ​story,​ ​saying​ ​“this​ ​happened;​ ​this​ ​is
true”
- The​ ​raw​ ​material​ ​can​ ​only​ ​be​ ​what​ ​the​ ​writer​ ​really​ ​experienced
- Some​ ​memoirists​ ​will​ ​use​ ​their​ ​imagination​ ​to​ ​add​ ​details​ ​to​ ​describe​ ​a​ ​scene​ ​more
completely
- In​ ​memoir,​ ​the​ ​imagination​ ​is​ ​limited​ ​by​ ​the​ ​facts;​ ​in​ ​fiction,​ ​the​ ​imagination​ ​is​ ​limited​ ​by
what​ ​the​ ​reader​ ​will​ ​believe
