Surely‚ the main goal is just to get the bigger points across and anyone bilingual can do that‚ right? Wrong. On both counts. The point is rarely to convey only the main points and anyone bilingual can’t necessarily do that. If they can’t do that‚ then they certainly can’t match

A memoir is a piece of writing that is written by a person explaining a certain period of time in their lives. It is a honest piece of writing‚ that will explain things in detail‚ not making you have to really try and figure out what the author is trying to say. Holden does none of these things. If Holden was a real person telling the story‚ it could not be considered a memoir. He continually lies throughout the book‚ and he does not tell the full story by leaving out how he is feeling.

And a joy can be seen from start to finish‚ but her understanding of that joy experienced

Childhood happened like a blur‚ some instances standing out more than others. There is one place which definitely stands out from my childhood; it is in the woods‚ barely a mile away from my house – the place where I used to spend entire days with my friends. I lived on the border of my town‚ all I needed to get to the woods was to cross the narrow road‚ jump off the black old fence which was too short to hold anything in – or out and walk‚ feet shuffling through detritus along the curved path
