WRITING PROMPT: NOW THAT YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUTOBIO AND MEMOIR, DISCUSS WHICH OF THE YOU WOULD RATHER READ.


Now that I know the difference between an autobio and a memoir I would rather read a memoir. I would rather read a memoir because to me it is more interesting and less boring than a autobio. A memoir is a reording in a persons life wit reflection on their impact. Memoirs only focus on one point and it doesnt really tell about everysingle thing in someones life unlike an autobio. An autobio tell a whole life story and can somtimes be very long and boring.
QUOTE: "LET THY SPEECH SPEECH BE BETTER THAN SILENCE, OR BE SILENT" - Dionysuis


I think the quote above means that when you speak you must speak proper and loud enough to be heard by everyone. If you dont speak loud enough it is almost the same as being silent. So if you are not goin to speak properly you shouldnt speak at all.
QUOTE: "TO LISTEN IS AN EFFORT AND JUST TO HEAR IS NO MERIT. A DUCK HEARS ALSO".

I think that the quote above means that listening and hearing are two different things. Listening is a mental process involving paying attention to and make sence of what is being heard. Hearing is a physiological process that involves the vibration of sound waves on the eardrums.I agree with this quote because whun people hear they dont take in any information. But when you listen you pay attention to and make sence of what is being heard.

Michael Jackson: This Is it
My first thought when watching the "This Is It" clip was that Michael Jackson was very creative and that he was very talented. i think that Michael Jackson is a very phenomenal person. Many other artists are inspired by Michael Jacksons music, talent, and dance moves. For example Chris Brown, Ne-Yo and many other artists, but there will be no one that can top like Michael Jackson.
