Example:
The Napoleon Dynamite Festival, 2005
The Napoleon Dynamite festival takes place in Preston, Idaho and features activities that celebrate the things that everybody remembers from the movie--from tater-tot eating contests to permed hair. The writer talks about her experiences with the friendly "country" people and how much fun she had. I chose this memory because I love the film Napoleon Dynamite. The festival that the memory talks about reminds me of going to county fairs in the summer time. Those county fairs had silly contests that were similar to the ones the writer mentions, like the Elvis look-alike contest or the ugliest dog contest. The memory also reminded me of the food that the the county fairs are famous for--everything from classical cotton candy to deep fried pickles.

Live 8, Philadelphia 2005
ReplyDelete‘Live 8’ was a multi-venue charity concert to try to eliminate poverty in Africa and it took place on 2 July 2005, in the G8 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, UK, USA) and in South Africa. The memory is about the writer’s experiences in Live 8, Philadelphia and the aim of the concert. I chose this memory because my favourite rock band, Pink Floyd had played together on stage for the first time in 24 years, thanks to Live 8 and it was the only reunion of all four members of the band. The concert series that the memory mentions reminds me of watching Live 8 on the telly as not a Pink Floyd fan. Thus, unfortunately, I wasn’t aware of the importance of Pink Floyd Reunion. Consequently, I couldn’t get kick out of their fantastic music and seeing four of them all together. In addition, since I had watched the concert at home, I hadn’t been exposed to the unbearable heat that the writer talks about.
