Ok so I’m not going to lie but the Memphis river reader was very boring yet interesting. To me what the most interesting thing about the reading was his illness and how he recovered from it. He basically had to start from the beginning in learning how to eat, think and talk. If he had not said anything about that I would have not know that he had undergone all of that. He says that the sickness help him to become a better writer overall. He has written poems and memoirs, I liked the one he read to us about his mom and dad meeting up it was comical. I’m not a literature person but is really cool to hear the thought process that the writer goes through to write his work. Even though it sometimes got boring it was cool I liked it. I guess the real moral of the entire thing is that you should never give up on anything and if you put your mind set to something you can make it happen.
