Remember when…

you were younger and you jumped through puddles after it rained? Memories like that last a lifetime. Our head is filled with memories. The genre of memory contans all the writings that come directly from the memories in your head. They can include documentaries, journals, non-fiction books, biographies, news, and obituaries.

Documentaries are factual, which also means that they should be presented in an unbiased way. Most common documentaries are of film, but there are also radio, and photo documentaries. The easiest way to test if something is a documentary, is if it's derived from real documents.

I really liked this groups wiki pages. I thought everyone had a lot of good, in-depth information and examples. Not only is the layout appealing, but it also makes the information easier to comprehend.

You guys really put together a great site for the genre of memory. Every page within this site was very helpful!! I actually used the biography and documentary pages to do some assignments for my other classes :)
