Memoirs

After reading the article about memoirs i came to two conclusions; i think one it is very important to tell the truth inside ones memoir, and two i think it takes the combination of a memoir and a autobiography written by a bias outside source to make a good piece of history. First of all i think memoirs are great because it usually can eliminate the possibilities of lies and over exaggeration of a persons life. This of course is only possible if the author is honest and open with the reader. On the other hand the reader can relay on the outside source to tell the complete truth because there cannot be any harm done to the author for telling the whole truth. Also the only way a good memoir can be written is if the author is being completely honest.....especially on the most important and story changing information.
