In an unusual way, memory is something we have and we don't even notice it. Memory is like a picture in our mind. It's like when you go on vacations and you remember specific part, or you have family get-togethers and there is something you always remember, or times with friends. You are always making memories. "Memory is the force behind making art- the drive not to forget". As I read this article the second time all i could think about is my grandpa. My grandpa was recently diagnosed with dementia and sometimes he'll know who people are and sometimes he wont know anyone around. It tends to get hard on everyone, but we all stick together and go to each other to talk about things. I have recently made up a picture board to have in his room of family and friends so he doesn't forget anyone.

Kim Caputo Zorn had kind of said that you need to make these memories to keep track of what happens in life every day. Some memories might take on a whole new meaning and could lead to making a bunch of new memories. Taking pictures, drawing, or writing will help us never to forget the times in our lives.

I liked the picture "Folded $20 bill resembling the World Trade Center, 2003" by Abelardo Morell. I liked this picture because it brings back the memories of the exact day that when i had been watching the news in my desk at school. All the mixed emotions I had that day come back to me when I see this. I also liked the picture "Argentina" by Jodie Vicenta Jacobson. I liked this picture because it seems to be kind of hazy and cloudy. It makes me think about the times where life seems to be unclear to me and I don't understand why somethings have to be the way they are, things I cannot change.
