Entry #74

         The structure of this book is very unique and different compared to a lot of other books I have read. I like the refreshing non-fiction aspect to it, and I love the traveling and adventure. I would love to do something like that someday. I have to wonder though, how much of this is actually real and how much did she add it for affect? I mean she writes it sort of like a journal, after major events or days she records what happened and moves on. But how does she remember everything? If I was writing this there would be no way I could specifically pull quotes and dialog from those days and record them word for word. So does she make most of it up? Or does she write the gist and add in a few extra sentences here and there? I mean does she add events in to make a good story, or fluff things up? I wonder if she looks at her self as a fictional character she has to create and add interesting details about? It's just hard to believe she could recall all of these events in such detail she definitely has to add stuff in, but my question is how much? I mean I know she said she would change the names of the people involved, so does that mean she changed a lot more? It doesn't really bother me I'm just curious as to how she approached this.
