In my personal essay I can honestly say that everything that is writen is 100% accurate to my memory of what happened. The diaologe is basically how it went, I obviously don't remember the exact words.
In my memior, everything is pretty precise. It happened many years ago so maybe everything is not accurate. I know I am uncertain about his height in the story, he wasn't 3 inches shorter than I was, he was short but I think that he was my same height. I guess now that I realize it was an exaggeration on my part, I will have to correct it because I know it is false information. He was a nice guy overall but I guess I wasn't interested in him and therefore painted him in a bad light so that others could sympathize. When he spit the drink at me that did happen that was but I am sure I embelished to make it seem more dramatic. The other part of the story was pretty accurate to what I remember there is nothing in there that is incorrect. As, I read it over that is how I remember it happening. This excercise really makes you think about the truth in your story and makes you want to correct it.
