Memories

Memories tend to be different for many people. This blog is about how I end up remembering things better, such as if i remember pictures or words. The Sound and the Fury's first two chapters are entirely memories, and if you step back and take a look at your own you will see just how reliable (or unreliable) memories can be.

For me, memories are different; I remember some things better one way than I do others. For example, when I drive I remember landmarks and places I've been as opposed to street names. I also remember peoples faces more than their names. On the otherhand I remember words to songs all of the time, or lines from movies or tv shows. I dont particularly remember what the characters or what I was doing at the time though. It's also obvious that memories can be overexagerated and misconstrued from what actually happened.

Since people can exagerate memories, and it usually happens, then I think that the memories from The Sound and the Fury aren't particularly reliable. For instance, things can also be ommited, but things also can be added to add impact to a certain situation. Memories have a strange way of working, but it is hard to imagine life without them.
