Into Thin Air by Your Boy

"A memoir takes some particular threads, some incidents, some experience from a person's life and gives an account of it."- Richard Hell
This quote describes a memoir as being something that puts together different events in one's life, whether they are good, bad, or ugly. The author of this quote, Richard Hell was in the bands Television, The Heartbreakers, and Richard Hell and the Voidoids. He saw his fair share of all three of those things. I agree with him that a memoir is a compilation of memories and experiences that you have had in your life.

  1. I really like this quote! I like how the author says that a memoir contains some threads some incidents and some experience because its all so true. A Memoir sews all these things together to make an interesting story. All you need is some event in your life and there you go you have a memoir.
