Memory Book 1 Dialectical Journal
Book 1: Memories, Chapter 8 – Entering the sect?

Even though little Hua began to walk, in less than one hundred steps she nearly collapsed. Due to the great injury on her leg, she walked limping. She thought that with her injuries, walking a bit more was easy, but she overestimated her body. The temperature remained the same as when she entered, but she felt cold.

Her blue eyes looked at her surroundings. To the right, a lot of trees, with no signs of ending. To the left, still the same lake. She was on the border of the lake, the only open path in the forest, which left her no choice but to continue walking. Slowly.

Time passed quickly, the light of the sun began to fade. Little Hua’s fingers trembled occasionally in anxiousness. Standing in this open space with no protection the whole night would surely be dangerous,

It seems she met a very gentle person, explaining everything in her first meeting. Are all powerful people like that? There were some parts she didn’t understand but she didn’t mind at all, so she waited for this gentle person to finish speaking.

“If you want to enter the danger zone and die, please die far away from here! Hey, are you listening? It’s your fault, you know?” He looked at the silver haired girl angrily. The hair color was a little unusual for a girl of her age, but it was not impossible.

Little Hua with eyes full of gratitude answered, “Yes, I’m listening, gentle person!” She bowed.

The youth was a bit surprised, how did she reach this conclusion? Looking at her eyes blue as the sky, he couldn’t sense any bit of falseness. He frowned even harder. But as if he suddenly thought of something, he asked, “How old are you, girl?”

Little Hua answered his gentleness, “I’m…” After some time thinking, she answered, “I’m turning nine today!”

“Sigh, Nine? Why are you here, then? You should be training,” The youth’s expressed his confusion.

“I’m here to join the…uh… Flying Kite Sect…?” She wasn’t

    As I read the first two pages of chapter twenty I pictured what Amir had witnessed and felt an overwhelming feelings of empathy, sorrow and gratefulness that I would mostly never have to see that in my life and how when he walked through his old neighborhood all his old memories would forever be haunted by ruined and death ridden place he once called home. This is another window that shows the reader another daily event Afghan’s witnessed walking through there own or old neighborhoods. For example it said, “I had a friend there once,’ Farid said ‘he was a very good bicycle repairman. He played the tabla well too. Then Taliban killed him and his family and burned the village.” This quote was an example of one of the several thousand Afghan’s who have seen or heard of family, friends or neighbors killed by the Taliban for a plethora of unknown reasons. This two pages reveal to the audience one out of plenty troubling and horrendous ordeals that people dealt with for possible all their lives living in Afghanistan after the war.…

    In Bellah and Sennett’s essays they refer to memory, more specifically the collective memory of the community. Both of these authors mention, that a big part of this is to remember not only the good but the bad, too. As Bellah puts it, “The communities of memory that tie us to the past also turn us toward the future as communities of hope.”1 To me, this means that the good gives us hope for better, while the bad gives us hope that the good will be coming around the corner.…

    I picked this quote because of the thoughtfulness of the author,Lois Lowry. She must have her own kids or knows children very well, because she understands average children’s behavior. Breaking rules(sneaking a sneak, lying, etc.) while you're young is very big and exciting. The Nines acted like average kids in our world,going against what they're told, but still doing that. In this scene, it’s the Ceremony of Nines and the Nines just got their bikes. The Nines have secretly been practicing to ride their bikes, even though it’s against the rules to do that. It’s shows that still in this “perfect” community, that kids still have fun and still break the occasionally rule.…

    History and Memory Essay

    • 799 Words

    Representing an ‘absolute truth’ is impossible. Inherent human bias affects both history and memory. We unintentionally falsify parts of the past in order to emphasise the nature of past events we find central to our individual beliefs. Therefore we are challenged with obvious limitations in representing the ‘truth’. The interplay of history and memory however, leads to a rather satiable and tangible level of truth. Nonetheless, it is yet to be seen that this satisfiable level of truth will be riddled with bias as it is human nature to have an opinion/perspective that makes reconciling (accepting) memory and history a great challenge. Ultimately, this satiable level of truth creates compelling and unexpected insights into the past as assumptions that have previously been thought as true and views can change when face with uncertainty (or challenged by evidence). Mark Baker’s biographical novel The Fiftieth Gate highlights his confrontation with the terror of his parents’ childhood. Similarly, ‘Big Fish’ composed by Tim Burton which explores the strained relationship between a father and son both express the ways both history and memory generate compelling and unexpected insights.…
