Memoir Project - My Sick Week

Posted by Brandon Kay in English 1 · Giknis · A Band on

Artists Statement Trevor Noah’s memoir inspired me to write this because of the connection of a whole family going through something bad together. I was going through Covid with my family, he was going through abuse with his family. Trevor Noah’s writing style impacted me in a way that I wanted to make my memoir more readable lik his was. So I added some humor here and there. Not much but a couple jokes. I chose to use humor to lighten up this story about a dangerous sickness. It is not that easy to make something about illnesses readable so I thought I needed a way to fix that.

I like how it was short and simple, straight to the point. I think it was very interesting to see Covid from your point of view. This also made me chuckle few times. So overall good job

This must be a really scary thing to go through. But you wrote it well I think! You still managed to bring some humor in it ( I liked it especially when you wrote how being sick hit you like a truck and then you rephrased it by saying it was actually an 18-wheeler.) Overall it was a great story!.
