When we read we get a sense of time and place when the
writer tells us about specific localities.
We get more vivid impressions when they mention places we know. Perhaps
they also present topics of national importance – these days if you’re in the
UK that might be about politics, our trains systems and our relationship with Europe.
The may allude to international matters such as migration, international conflicts
and climate change. In memoir or autobiography the writers also tell us about themselves.
They will set the external matters to the appropriate times and places.
What things come to mind when you
think about your life on:
•
A local level?
•
A national level?
•
An international level?
•
Also, what are your interests? What do they
reveal about the larger culture?
Use these in a balanced way to
produce a piece of autobiography or memoir.
