Imaginary Memoir

I recently finished editing the Imaginary Memoir that I wrote for Humanities class for our Africa Project. Honestly, I found the Imaginary Memoir far easier to accomplish than I ever thought possible.

Despite not having any large amount of specific details with which to guide my writing, the story came quite easily, and didn't require too much actual thought. It almost seem to come naturally. This was reflected in my peer critiques in the fact that I didn't really receive any critical comments on the content of my story, and only a few on my grammar and spelling.

The only difficulties I experienced in writing the story was coming up with a few historical details. I wasn't aware of the Naval ranks, or exactly how the housing was in Somalia in the late 1970's. I had to wing it a little bit on those topics.

But, I thought the Imaginary Memoir was a lot of fun to write, and reading those of others was very interesting!
