1. What are some of the larger themes in my memoir? (Themes such as: compassion, knowledge, economics, race, class, gender, politics, etc) Think about what your story ultimately deals with. Have fun and select some topics that you WANT to explore?
My memoir dealt with self discovery and knowledge. Education.
2. Now select one of those themes and brainstorm for a bit about the theme and how it appears in the cultural environment. For instance, if you choose compassion, then you may list ideas such as the Peace Movement, Humane treatment of animals, or issues related to Human Rights such as torture, genocide, etc.
Knowledge and education of women’s rights.
3. Here is where you write one or two paragraphs, discussing what knowledge, experience, or background you already have about your topic, BEFORE having done any research on it. Explore your positions in regards to the topic.
I have had an interest in women’s rights for many years. I am a member of Equality Now, a worldwide organization geared toward educating the public about women’s issues. Equality Now also tries to pass laws that make it illegal to perform GFM and honor killings. I think that people need to be educated on the topic, especially women, because they do not always recognize how much they are put down in all aspects of life.
