    A chokecherry tree is a small shrub like plant that grows in Virginia. The cherries it harbors are bitter, in fact the common name for the plant is bitter-berry. The fact that Sethe refers to the whip scars on her back as her “chokecherry tree” illuminates the feelings she has toward her past. Although the “rememories” of her past are abhorrent and incredibly painful for her they are still a part of her. So instead of lingering on the bitter taste of her past she makes even the most awful of memories beautiful by naming it something pretty. Not that her past wasn't terrible, it was, it's just that Sethe wouldn't be who she turned out to be if she hadn’t of gone through all the suffering that she did. The connection that this has to the rest of the work is thin at most but if one stretches there is a connection.…

    There exists in the majority of people a schism between their public lives and their private lives. People should desire to have their public selves match their private selves as closely as possible. A rift between the two causes nothing but pain and suffering for everyone around those people and places a heavy burden on the spirit of the ones responsible. Trust and honesty are essential to our society and the truth should be complimentary, not earned. Richard Rodriguez, a writer and public speaker, expertly illustrates his own experience with this type of double life in his autobiography, Hunger of Memory.…

    I remember my kindergarten class with all the play and sleep time. My teacher asked that we needed to bring in a toy for play time. I told my mother that I needed a new toy because I didn’t want to bring an old toy to school. My mother took me to the toy store where she bought me a Michael Jackson dancing action figure. He had the sparkling glove and a mic. I was happy to get a toy to match my Thriller vinyl record and I moonwalked all night. I was also happy to show off my toy to all my class mates the next day. The worst experience was when my…

    three main functions: recording, storing, and recalling. As you get older, certain parts of your memory start to decline. One of the m ost feared changes to occur with aging is loss of memory. For this paper, I will be focusing on my grandfather. He is 72 years old. The five types of memory that I will be focusing on are autobiographical memory, implicit memory, source memory, procedural memory, and tip of the tongue. Starting with the abilities that decline, the first is source memory. Source memory is recall where information was heard or seen. Source memory has been found to be more affected by aging than item memory, possibly because of declining frontal function among older adults. I have noticed when my grandfather is telling a story he has started to forget where he heard it or saw it. The second is tip of tongue, which is when you forget names of certain things. I have noticed that when he forgets the name of something he gets very frustrated. He will sit there for hours trying to remember. Even when the name does not come to him he will try describing them to whomever he is talking too. He does not give up easily. One of the most fascinating things about the tip-of-the-tongue state is that it demonstrates how sometimes we know that we know something, without actually being able to recall it. Now for the abilities that do not decline, starting with autobiographical memory, which is recalling information for you own past. My grandfather does a lot of recalling information from his past. He can talk for hours about his past. Implicit memory is recalling information acquired unintentionally. Things that we do not purposely try to remember are stored in implicit memory. This kind of memory is both unconscious and unintentional. Personally I think my grandpa is better at this part of memory than I am. Some examples of implicit memory include singing a familiar song, daily…
