"And here I've come to my chief concern: talking, speaking out, not hiding or covering up one's own fears, desires, or inhibitions, as most adults usually do, even though it doesn't make them any ...happier. Silence and concealment don't make the world alright, they only give you a stomach ache."
Autobiographical writing is aimed at oneself. It tells one's own story from a personal viewpoint, the subjective perceptions, and one's own interpretations, which one needs in order to develop an ...individual identity. Pressler assesses some autobiographies about difficult childhoods and the approaches each author takes to tell her story.
