		<description><![CDATA[Their goal was to overthrow Westernized governments and create the kind of world God intended, one all-encompassing Islamic state. At first, Husain's loyalty was torn between his parents and his new friends. Gradually he aligned with his activist peers, fighting against Western values such as freedom and democracy. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/memoirs-show-two-sides-of-the-islamic-revolution/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I acquired items for my list in a variety of ways. Some I experienced myself. Others I learned by watching students in my workshops or groups. And some I speculated must be true. For example, I assumed that after I told my own story, I would gain the skills to write other people's stories, as well. The benefit seemed self-evident, but I was not yet ready to test it. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/how-to-write-a-profile/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[William Golding's book "Lord of the Flies" created a sense of terror at the Shadow Side that lurks within the human heart. Salzman did the opposite. He showed me a glimpse of compassion where I least expected it. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/writing-enemies-to-friends/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wish we could base our collective admiration on qualities that run deeper. And I believe this is exactly the role memoirs could serve. Whether or not I knew the author before I started reading a memoir, by the time I finish, I feel we have grown closer, like traveling companions who have shared many miles. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/serve-earns-fame/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somehow Zlata Filopovic's diary transcended these limits. Perhaps the readability of her entries arose naturally from the war itself. Dramatic tension erupted when, frightened by explosions, her family scrambled to the basement, not knowing how long they would be there or what would be left of their world when they emerged. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/diary-war-zlata/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
