Lucy Grealy, the author of a memoir titled Auto Biography of a Face, underwent a surgery to remove cancer, which took one third of her jaw in the process. After the operation was complete, she realized that a “chasm” (58) had separated her from her family, along with others around her. In her struggle to bridge the chasm between her and her peers, Grealy tries different several methods and makes numerous decisions throughout her childhood that widen or reduce the gap and ultimately bring her to understand her place in the world. In her many efforts to close the hole she felt had appeared between her and her peers, Grealy used her strong powers of imagination to ease the pain she felt. Although just a child throughout the majority of the memoir, Grealy came to realize that if she pretended that she was beyond those who harass her, their taunts didn’t hurt as bad.

Recently I read the story “My Fathers Brain What Alzheimer’s Takes Away” by Jonathan Franzen in my English 101 course. In this story Jonathan Franzen speaks about his parent’s relationship before and after Alzheimer’s, how he viewed Alzheimer’s affecting their lives and his feelings towards his father’s death. Franzen also often illustrates his mothers struggle to deal with his father’s disease and the many emotions attached to it. He talks about how his father started to forget different things which eventually turned into forgetting many everyday things. Franzen explained that his father got lost in his own neighborhood in one instance and couldn’t remember his own children’s birthdays another.
