Timed Write... Analysis Prompt
 * You have this class period to write an essay responding to the following prompt:**

In his second volume of memoirs, //Ways of Escape // (1980), Graham Green observed the following: //"Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic fear which is inherent in the human situation.” //

How can writers use memoirs as therapy to deal with the human situation and to reflect on larger issues/ideas? Use specific evidence from at least three different memoirs read in class.
