Memoir Cause and Effect Revision

 


Draft an anonymous memoir about a person you hate or a person you are afraid of. Work with a peer to make your essay better.  This conversation will be a guide for revision. 

Consider:
1. Cause and effect relationships.  What is the cause for the discontent?  What was the effect?
2.  What are the immediate consequences of this negative relationship?  How does the relationship immediately effect your thoughts and behaviors as the main character of this story?
3.  What are the long term consequences of this negative relationship?  What is "really" at stake?  What could ultimately go wrong?  
4. Why should the reader of this piece invest their time and energy in this work?
5. Why should we care and why do we care?
