Post 3

At this point you should be about 1/3 of the way through your book. For your third blog, I want you to discuss autobiographies versus biographies. First, tell whether your book is an autobiography or biography. Next, discuss whether or not the story would be better as as biography or autobiography. Choose one particular event that has happened to your main "character" so far. Discuss the event in detail and explain whether or not you think this event is best told through the eyes of that person or of another. This blog should be at least one well-detailed paragraph long. You must give specific details from your book, including the page numbers in which the event you discuss occurs.

My book is a biography. The story is better as a biography because it would be too confusing if it was an autobiography.
One event that just happened a few chapters back to Sybil, is that Dr. Wilbur met with Viky (one of Sybil's selves) and they discussed that Sybil had no idea about the Peggies or about her. So Dr. Wilbur decides to tell Sybil that she isn't in a fugue state, she has multiple personalities. Sybil then gets scared and she doesn't want to hear anymore of this. So she reminds Dr. Wilbur that the time is up and that she must go. Dr. Wilbur tries to get her to stay, but she leaves. p 110. on p 132 Sybils' grandmother dies. This is a huge event. Sybil's grandmother was the only one who ever cared and protected her from her mother. The only person to show her kindness. At age 9 Sybil was supposed to go to the funeral but her parents told her to wait upstairs and they would call her when they were ready, they forgot about her and called her after the service was over. Her grandmother died of cervical cancer. When they were lowering her grandmother's casket in the grave she went to jump on top of it and was grabbed by rough hands, then all the sudden she looked around and was in a 5th grade classroom. She had blacked out for 2 years. On page 141 we find out that Sybils mom would give her the nickname Peggy Lou or Peggy Ann. So we can concluded why she chose the names Peggy Lou and Peggy Ann as two of her personalities. We can also conclude taht since they were choseen by her mother, and that her mother was such an angry person, we know why that the Peggies are both angry.
