blog 20

I article I decided to read this time once again had to deal with memories and how they affect the personality of the person.  One line that I really liked is where it said how memories are like a person’s “story of my life,” and how someone will repeat it to themselves “to warn him or  comfort him, to keep him concentrated on his goals, to prepare him, by means of past experiences, and to meet future with an already tested style of action.” The author goes on to talk about how memories anchor down our identity.  Not only do memories define our personality but they also help us to figure out our goals and want we want to achieve.  We cherish these memories and rely on them which helps to explain why we are still able to remember a certain memory clearly even after many years.  This article is a lot like the others ones I’ve read.  So far they’ve all said the same thing about how memories define our personality.  This is good because it supports my argument but I think I need to start finding articles that relate to my argument in a different way.  All the information I’ve gathered so far is pretty much the same.  I know I need to try searching for something different but I’m not sure what it would be.
