A book has to be 100% percent true in the author’s
and factual perspective. If the book has any made up elements or added parts
then it should be automatically classified as a fiction based on a true story.
Seth Greenland made a good point saying, “Were living in this era where people
think truth is malleable… we can’t agree what reality is.” People think they
can fix the truth about themselves molding themselves into hero’s or victims of
a hard or exciting life that people want to hear when it’s a bunch of made up stuff
to create this fictions persona of themself.
2.
Half true stories are okay, but the reader has
the right to know that the entire story isn’t true. So to call a half true
story a memoir is lying to the audience. The term for these kind of books are
based on a true story so the reader knows things are dramatized and
personified.
3.
We need lines in genre because when a memoir is
true we want to be able to share a person’s success and accomplishments or
point of view and give them proper credit and achievement recognition for it.
While a good story is a good story a readers should judge them for being
classified as either one. Labeling shouldn’t restrict the success of the book.
