o Why do you think Jackson chose to tell this story?
o How was this story organized?
o Was this story organized effectively? Was it easy to follow? How did he transition
the different parts of the story?

o How was Jacksons voice portrayed in this story? Was the voice he used
authentic?
o Is it important to use authentic voice in your personal memoirs?
