People write memoirs because they have an urge to express themselves. Whether a person writes their own story to convey a message, mourn, celebrate, or vent their anger does not matter; all people who write memoirs end up with a deeper sense of who they are. By knowing who they are, they can decide what they will become, and have an insight into their future.
Telling our own stories teaches us to be introspective and to get our own lives into perspective. First of all, getting to know one’s self better is an important aspect of writing. Memoirs give people the power to understand themselves. Writing memoirs also helps people to see the big picture, and understand what goes on in their lives. Often when one has an issue, they can only focus on their feelings and reactions. When an event is set in front of someone on paper, everything becomes clear; none of their thoughts or prejudices can cloud the picture in front of them. Memoirs have the power to deepen one’s sense of self and their surroundings.

I really like your ideas Charlotte!
I'm not sure that writing rids people of their prejudices though. If writing did that, what would happen to our op-ed columns?

I agree with almost everything that you said in this post. I agree that people come to a greater understanding of themselves when they write about their lives. Excellent post Miss Lerner.
