It is okay because it makes the story more interesting for the audience and then they are more engaged.]]> 2018-03-11 07:02:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_wheatley/83gq73mu4287/wish/240528096 https://padlet.com/mark_wheatley/83gq73mu4287/wish/240528137 It is not acceptable. This is because the purpose of a memoir is to share the experience and the message. When fictional writing is included, it changes the experience causing a change in the memoir style.

But what is not acceptable is when the author adds a completely new idea/ scenario to what had actually happened. If they wanted to add all those lies, they could've labelled it as a fiction novel, but mention that it was based on real events that personally happened to the author. ]]> 2018-03-11 11:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_wheatley/83gq73mu4287/wish/240548749
