Unlike most memoirs, he tells a story about emerging "from the poverty and obscurity in which [he] was born and bred, to a state of affluence and some degree of reputation in the world," (6) instead of simply listing facts. As he progresses through his story I can picture him perfectly, sitting in a wooden chair, plucking away at his typewriter, summarizing his life. I found it interesting that he developed the idea of being a vegetarian in his teens, it seems like even his simplest ideas spread worldwide. On the topic of vegetarianism, he really brags about how much dedication and work he went through to uphold the diet. Through this we begin to see aspects of his personality surfacing. For example, I feel like he is in a way insecure and trying to prove something to the reader.
Guidelines
1) Give and take constructive criticism and disagreements positively. (Don’t offend or get offended)
2) Raise your hand to talk. (To give everyone a chance to bring forth their opinion)
