Memory: talk about the nature of memory and how it plays a role in your experiences. You can personify it if you want to.
Possible questions:
- What are the things we forget?
- What are the things we can’t forget no matter how hard we try?
- What are the things we forget that we should remember?
- What kinds of things get remembered?
- What is lost to history and what is brought to the forefront?
- How does memory fail us?
- If people deny our memories/ experiences, what does that mean?
- How is memory different than truth?
