Question 1 • GA-GSE English Language Arts 11
A memoir recounts a meaningful part of the author’s life, usually from the author’s own point of view. Walden focuses on Thoreau’s experience living at Walden Pond over a limited period, is told in first person, and shares information about his life. Its transcendental ideas and attention to nature are important themes, but they are not what makes it a memoir.
