The truth in a memoir should be mainly true in my opinion. Little
lies are okay and some truth stretching to. That’s normal because well in
marketing to sell your book it should be truthful but interesting as well to
grab people attention. So that’s accepted, though straight out lying about your
life of living in a gang and doing drugs is taking it too far. A memoir should
be filled with truth and little bits of I wish this actually happen but it didn’t
really. Though we should have labels to tell between fiction and non-fiction
the reason being is that if a little kid goes and gets a book. One book is
about slaying a dragon and another on how to bake a cake. No labels to saying that
no in real life you can’t slay a dragon, but the kid will believe that dragons
are real as cake. So labels are important in that sense, though in real life
sometimes we play our “fiction” life. The reason for me saying this is that
people love the life of a gang, but really the smart kid who doesn’t talk. Or
the popular girl who everyone thinks is dumb, is really a genius and going to Harvard.
Then they live their “non-fiction” life sometimes the fantasy world and reality
do merge. So in reality we are living in a memoir
