BB "Letters"

This chapter, even though it's very short, will be really helpful when I'm revising my paper. Since our genealogy focuses primarily on our own personal stories, this chapter by Lamott really relates. I have to give more detail to most of my personal events, so using her method of writing to someone I know will work well I think. If I act as if I'm writing to someone personally, more of the story will come out truthfully and emotionally. It will allow me to better explain my story from my own perspective and what I truly felt during that event.
