Memories of a Memory

Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

Which word from the text best describes memories of places?

Vague
Familiar
Individual
Remarkable

Read the excerpt from "Upon Receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature" by William Faulkner.

"He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed—love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice."

What does the use of the word ephemeral suggest?

[1]I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10]Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15]A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20]In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

How do I make my essay more interesting to making the reader invested into it

Read this passage from “The Story of an Hour.” Why is this passage ironic?

It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints that revealed in half concealing. Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message.

Her sister is the one who tells her, but her sister never liked her husband.

Richards had checked the truth of the news, but it turned out to be wrong.

There was more than one person named Brently Mallard on the train.

Her husband had been traveling by train and there was no railroad disaster.

Penelope In Homer’s Odyssey, Odysseus’s wife Penelope must ward off suitors from other Greek kingdoms (the Achaeans) as she waits for her husband’s return after decades of absence. This adaptation of the Odyssey explains Penelope’s strategy.


1 One of the suitors complained to Penelope’s son about her long delay in agreeing to remarry.


2 "The trouble is not with the Achaean wooers, but in your own mother, for she is the craftiest of women. For it is now the third year, and the fourth is fast going by, since she began to deceive us. She gives hope to all, and makes promises to every man, and sends them messages, but her mind is set on other things. And she has devised in her heart this trick besides; she set up in her halls a mighty loom and told us, ‘You princely youths, my wooers, now that the goodly Odysseus is dead, wait patiently, however eager you are, until I finish this funeral robe I am weaving for my father-in-law Laertes, for the day when he dies. This way no-one shall blame me if he lies without a shroud. ’


3 "So she spoke, and our hearts agreed. So then in the daytime she would weave the robe, and in the night unravel it, in the dim light of torches. Thus for the space of three years she hid the thing by craft and deceived the Achaeans; but when the fourth year arrived and the seasons came round, then at the last one of her women who knew all declared it, and we found her unraveling the splendid robe. Thus she was forced to finish it against her will. "


Amoretti XXIII by Edmund Spenser


Penelope for her Ulysses’ sake, Devised a web her wooers to deceive; In which the work that she all day did make The same at night she did again unreave


Such subtle craft my Damsel doth conceive, Th’importune suit of my desire to shun: For all that I in many days do weave, In one short hour I find by her undone. So when I think to end that I begun, I must begin and never bring to end: For with one look she spills that long I spun, And with one word my whole year’s work doth rend. Such labour like the spider’s web I find, Whose fruitless work is broken with least wind.
