While memories allow people to have a positive perception of the past, thinking back to them frequently leads to an unclear understanding of the present. Melinda’s
There are also the things that seem really important but we often forget about them. The first memories that pops into my head when I think about memories is when I picked out my first pig. His name was Champ and he was black with white around his front shoulders, kind of like a half oreo. I could walk him anywhere, and we would go through the field, and in the front yard, and through the garage, my parents were surprised when they saw me with him. To be honest I picked him out because he was cute, and he was probably one of the best pigs I’ve ever had.
Memories are one of the most important parts of life, there is no true happiness without the reminiscence of pain or love. This concept is portrayed in "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. The story tells of a 12-year old Jonas, who lives in a “utopian” society, where all bad memories are destroyed to avoid the feeling of pain. Jonas becomes the receiver, someone who receives good and bad memories, and he is transmitted memories of pain and pleasure from The Giver and is taught to keep the secret to himself. The author shows one should cherish memories, whether it be good or bad, as they are all of what is left of the past, and we should learn from it as to better ourselves in the future.

Anyways my man cave has a smell that is unpleasant so I have to have an air freshener and spray every 30 mins, even though I open my window.
At the fundamental level a memory is formed when a stimulus from (usually) the external environment excites a receptor, say the eye or ear. That receptor converts that physical stimulus into an electro/chemical/protein/etc. signal that travels through the brain’s neural network. The signal goes first to the thalamus which is the distribution point in the brain’s limbic system. The signal then goes immediately to the amygdala which checks it for real or perceived threat. The amygdala is the gatekeeper of the emotional brain and the centre of emotional memory.
Finally, Dr. Victor Frankenstein is believed to be the real monster. He must be blamed for the events leading to death and eventually the monster.

First I listened to a short clip of Christmas Present. The tempo and pacing were a medium speed because he is acting like a normal human talking and people don’t talk too fast or too slow. For the mood, it was bright and cheerful because Christmas Present is always holding a torch of light and it also is because of the music that plays in the background is cheerful. Next, I listen to a short clip of Christmas Past. The tempo and pacing were slow because he is trying to get him to remember all of his past life as a child.
To start with the basis of understanding the memory, one must know that memories are stored in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. In a recent fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) study over the past decade, researchers found that the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex have decreased in activity. The memory is a constructive surface and not so much reproductive. It can be distorted by being influenced by bias, association, imagination and peer pressure. As one goes to recall an event, the brain will now associate that memory with what is happening around them at the time of the recall.
Memories are a key aspect in life because they affect our behavior, help us recall events that have happened in life, and last help us learn. Furthermore memories are the events we have experienced in life and due to these experiences they take a toll on a person’s behavior. We may perceive a person has negative or pessimistic but without knowing them we can not assume their personality.
An experience that was meaningful to me was the time that my entire family and I went to Disney from July 1st,2010 to July 14th,2010 it was such a great experience.
