Memoir Ideas- ENC 1101

My first Idea for my blog is about my sister playing tricks on me. When I was little my sister made me believe a statue could come to life and haunt me. Of course, I didn't belive her until I saw a pale face at my window that night. The next morning My neighbor, Kelsey, claimed she saw the same thing. My sister then told me the statue was going to steal my soul, so being five years old I started crying. My dad made my sister and Kelsey admit that Kelsey was at my window that night and they were trying to scare me. I have never fell for their tricks again and I have never been so afraid since.

The next idea I wanted to blog about was how I broken my arm. I was dared to go down a pool ladder backwards and slipped and fell and broke my arm. After this incident, I learned to do things if I believe I can do them and not do things just because I was dared to.

My final idea was to write about how my friends and I would throw toilet paper at cars. We would sit in my friends backyard that was facing a road. When we heard a car coming we would hide in the bushes and throw full toilet paper rolls at the passing cars... Until, we got caught by the police. We all tried to run away but had no way to go. The police lectured us but we didnt get in too much trouble. The thrill of potentially getting in trouble was always a rush, like when you’re on a roller coaster. I haven’t felt adrenaline that that since then.

  1. I like your first idea, I think since it was traumatic enough for you to remeber that incident this many years later than you should go with it.

  2. I agree. I believe your first idea would be the best choice to base your autobiography on. Just looking at your three examples, you already have the most to say about that experience. Plus, a lot of people can relate to your situation.
