Within Paul Auster’s text, memory is the faculty that he has of remembering events that had marked his life all along, is the concept is made by a series of events that construct a person. Talking into account that Paul Auster reflects all his memories in his books, especially in the invention of a solitude where he remembered the actions of his father that influenced his life.
3. Research schedule:
My work is going to be done with my sisters, I’m going to specify in the trips with them. My sisters are older and all of them do not live with me so it’s going to be difficult to interview them. I have 4 sisters; I’m the smallest one.
First I’m going to talk to the one who lives closest and I see the most. She is the 3rd daughter of my parents, the middle one in the family. I’m going to have bonding time with her and we will talk about the trips. We’ve had many trips together with all of my sisters where we had a lot of anecdotes. The idea with her is to discuss about the anecdotes and refresh them for writing them down. Find as many pictures as we can.
Then in a video call I’m going to do the same with the other ones, to have a very good memory of the anecdotes in the trip.
