For this assignment you will be expected to complete research, personal research. We are going to attempt to access one of your earliest memories and compare that core memory to how it was remembered by another present individual. In a 500-word personal essay, you will answer the following questions and prompts:
1. Fully describe an early memory. Please note, there must have been another person present you are still in contact with today. Include a description of the setting and location, your sensations and perceptions, the events that took place, and the people who were present.
2. For Part 2, you will need to contact the person who was present at the time of your memory. Ask them to describe their experience and compare their memory to your own. What are the similarities? What are the differences?
3. Conclude your paper with your own observations of memory. Do you feel your memories are mostly accurate? How can you tell?
This paper needs to be written mostly as a story, a dramatic retelling, for example. I do not want you to simply list the details of your memory, but put them in to a story.
Your paper should be titled, “Accessing an Early Memory,” double-spaced, with a 500-word minimum.
