These are some of my memories that I can remember clearly. Some are from a very long time ago and some are quite resent. I have three, some parts of them are bad memories and other parts are that good that I’ll never forget them.

One of my earliest memories was when I was about 3 or 4 and lived in a small house in Warrington.

It was a hot sunny day and I was out in the garden playing football with my friend Joe. My Mum, and Joe's Mum, were both in the house having dinner together because they had not seen each other for a while.

Me and Joe were both seeing who could do the most kick-ups. When it was my turn, I kicked the ball too far and it landed in next doors garden. I walked over to have a look if I could see it. As I was walking over I could see some thing in the bush, I then realized it was an action figure. So I ran to get it, but before I got there, Joe had already beaten me to it. I tried to snatch of him but he kept hold tight, like a dog with a bone. We were fighting and arguing over it for about 2 or 3 minutes. Then all of a sudden he let go and I went flying through the air. I then ended up landing on the concrete out side the back door and smacking my head on the floor. The pain rushed to my head and I started to feel dizzy. It felt like some one had put my head in a vice and tightened it slowly. There was no blood but there was a huge bruise on the back of my head. I started to scream as loud as I could and both of our parents came rushing out of the back door to see what was going on. The bruise lasted for a week or so and I didn’t talk to Joe for a month or so.

Another one of my memories was when I was around 10 years old. My Dad had a friend who was doing up an old motor bike out of scrap parts. At the time all I wanted was a motor bike, and I begged my Dan to buy it of his friend. My Dad asked his friend if he would sell the motor bike after he had got it working.

    A memory can be a powerful thing to a person. Memories cultivate our perceptions of someone you are related to or something such as the topic of war. Also a memory that means something to you may have a different meaning to someone else. Such as when I was younger I have a memory of my brother in law being in the paper for putting out an enormous fire and saved a life. I thought of him as a hero and remember it being a joyous memory but to him it was the opposite. He remembers it as having to jump through windows into blazing fire, fighting off the crowd who had pulled their cars over the fire hose, and walking in to find it was too late for a person living in the house. After have putting out the fire, he walked out to raging crowd screaming at them they did not do everything they could. The memory was an unpleasant and unsettling one to him. In “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke and “Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen people see their memories as one way but it means the complete opposite to them.

  • John Irving's 'Meet The Phenomena'

    John Irving once said, “Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you” (Brainy 1). Few people would ever consider memory a monster, but John Irving speaks the truth, at least in a sense. Think back to an early childhood memory. Perhaps the memory is extremely vague, or perhaps you can recall every single detail. That precious memory of a single moment in time seems so tangible, you can smell, see, and taste the things you did then. Your childhood memories are so dear and special that you will most likely remember them as long as you live.

    The article How to Tell If a Particular Memory Is True or False by Daniel M. Bernstein and Elizabeth F. Loftus, addresses the various techniques used by cognitive scientists and other researchers in hopes of distinguishing true from false memories.

Their findings in these three different approaches are very interesting, and leads us to think critically of the veracity of true and false memories.

    Memory is the tool we use to learn and think. We all use memory in our everyday lives. Memory is the mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experiences. We all reassure ourselves that our memories are accurate and precise. Many people believe that they would be able to remember anything from the event and the different features of the situation. Yet, people don’t realize the fact that the more you think about a situation the more likely the story will change. Our memories are not a camcorder or a camera. Our memory tends to be very selective and reconstructive.

  • Beloved Memory

    In an interview to Gail Caldwell, Morrison points out that “the past, until you confront it, until you live through it, it keeps coming back in other forms. The shapes redesign themselves in other constellations, until you get a chance to play it over again” (Taylor-Guthrie 241). Morrison’s Beloved is a way of getting it over by remembering the past, confronting it, and bringing transformation to the present. According to Roland Walter: “the narrativization of deliberately forgotten traumatic events creates a space for possible healing as it provides a consensual reality and collective memory through which fragments of personal memory can be assembled, reconstructed and displayed with a tacit assumption of validity”(243). Sethe, the protagonist
