This document provides guidance on writing a memoir. It begins with defining what a memoir is, noting that a memoir tells about personal experiences from the author's point of view and focuses on how their attitudes and life were changed by an event. The document then gives criteria for a well-written memoir, such as using informal language to share feelings, recounting actual events and attitudes, and showing how the author changed as a result. Finally, it provides instructions for writing an introduction paragraph for the memoir, including using a hook and thesis statement to present the memory being written about.
