Six Word Memoir: Confession

Photo: B. Gusmão

This six word memoir was the clearest one. I hate confessing and it is not something that I would like to do for a memoir. I decided to create something that could show my hatred for.  I made this memoir and the picture very clear and objective. I used a question mark to make a question about confessions instead of really confessing. The photo was the same thing, instead of writing my confession on the post, I just wrote the word "confession" as a joke, indicating that my confession was actually the word.  I wanted it to be very literal, so it would be ironic as the joke that I did on the memoir. I used a simple frame because I wanted it to be as simple as the photo.  

Six Word Memoir: Me

I took this photo when I was just sitting in Chapters trying to write something. I was in a place that I love, trying to do something that I love, so I chose this picture because it fits pretty well into my passion about writing.

 Literature for me is an art that makes everything beautiful because authors can turn their own pain in a beautiful poem. Everything can be pretty with good words.

The frame that I chose for this six word memoir was very precise in the point that I was getting. I tried to make this as close to the point as I could.

I didn't use too much punctuation in this six word memoir, but I chose a period instead of a exclamation one because I didn't feel like the phrase needed intensity, I just wanted to let it be quite.

Six Word Memoir: My past

This six word memoir has connections with my past and my present. I've always loved magic things. When I was a kid I believed I could be a wizard. As I grew up, my love for magic didn't disappear and I begun liking the Harry Potter saga. So, in this six word memoir I made a relationship between something that was in me in the past and stays with me nowadays, in a funny way. The picture that I chose is embedded completely in the point that I want to get at.

The punctuation that I used was specifically to give the memoir a nostalgic tone, as if it had really happened. I also chose a simple frame for my phrase because I didn't want it to influence the connection between the phrase and the picture. 

Six Word Memoir: Love

This six word memoir is my favorite. When I saw that we needed to choose a picture that represents love I thought exactly on this one. Everyday I walk home and see this painting on the wall and it makes me smile because I always think of who made it and for what reason. The painting is so simple but means a lot to me and I think it means a lot to who painted it.

I created the phrase based on Rhianna's song "We found love" because finding this paint on a random wall on my way home is exactly what she says in her lyrics, "we found love in a hopeless place". 

The punctuation that I used was pretty simple, only a period because the phrase is a reference to a song. It doesn't anything else to be understood, but knowing the song.

Love is my biggest inspiration and I think the details are very important when you're  in love.  Another reason that I chose this picture is because this painting may be just a detail on my way home, but it still makes a big difference.

Robert Munsch and the Skype reading

I didn't know who Robert Munsch was till last tuesday that we read one of his books, Mortimer, for some kids from Thompson via Skype. Aftet this, I made a research about him and his books and found out how awesome his books are for kids. His books involves sounds and gestures, what keep the kids paying attention on the story and make them like it more. Our class made a really good reading for them and the kids faces was amazing, how they kind feel the story with all the sounds... Was pretty great. Robert Munsch's books are really good, they make the stories funnier and better. Read one of his books for kids was a funny and nostalgic activity that I really liked.
