Memoir - Fish Cheeks - Style and Strategy

Hello Seniors!

Choose a prompt below and respond.  Write.  Give yourself a lot to work with...

Good day to you! We will continue with memoir and personal statement today!

Here are some of the stylistic strategies we discussed when reading Bread:  structure of the narrative, the theme web for connotations and ideas, greed vs. love, dialogue, using names, etc...

Today we will work with Fish Cheeks. Please take notes for similar style and strategy.
Then - take some time to try and imitate this style with your own potential story.
