- Take the premise that every memoir is motivated by a driving question (and not necessarily a story or an answer) about the author’s personal experience. Choose two memoirs we have studied (or one) and seek to identify their driving questions (it is extremely useful in this case to read the entire text). What does the writer burn to understand better? To see anew? To learn? Consider how the question organizes the way the story is told, what incidents take on a great deal of significance, what the text includes and what it excludes, where the text begins and ends.
