Abstract:
In this creative non-fiction thesis, the author reads her own life, suggesting that she
believes in the details of experience and knows truth in and through experience
even though the truth is not always clear. The first chapter includes several
narratives from her childhood experience. In the second chapter, the essays center
around more recent experiences. In the third chapter, she uses two theories of story
and interpretation to analyze her own experience, then returns to narrative detail in
the fourth and final chapter.
