All of the memoirs in this unit are told from the first-person point of view. why is it important that they are told in the first person? how would they be different if they were told from a different point of view? imagine one of the memoirs you read told from a different point of view, and use that example to explain both the benefits of telling the story in the first person and how it would be different if told from another point of view. memoirs are a cub pilot. a barrio boy. no gumption. and i know why the caged bird sings
