Chapter 8

Memory is very important in defining who we are as human beings. Without memory we obviously wouldn't be able to remember anything. Memory defines who we are. If you are able to remember most things people will probably come up to you and ask you for help, and if you can't remember anything people probably won't ask you much. If we did not have memory life would be crazy. People would be running aroud not knowing who they are or where they are going. People wouldn't have jobs or friends. And probably not family because you wouldn't be able to remember who is in your family. Clive is the same person but without a memory. He wouldn't be able to remember things so he would always be living in the past because he would never be able to remember things from the future.
Now I think more differently about memory because now I don't take it for granted. I am now starting to think about what it would be like if we didn't have a memory. It wouldn't be fun. I also cherish my memories more than I did before because they make me who I am. I trust my memories because they are things that have happened, and I can remember the things that happened in the past.
I found it interesting to learn about deja vu. Everyone one has experienced it and it is interesting to learn about why it happens. I hate when deja vu is happening and I sit there and think to myself, hasn't this already happened before?
