Mouth of Babes

I got this e-mail from an English teacher, says it all.

I gave the kids a quiz over their travel narrative. One of the questions was, "How is a travel narrative different than a memoir, essay, novel, etc.?" Check this response out:

"A travel narrative is a conceptual recollection of thoughts by an author who has experienced an atmosphere that is different from that of the author's niche. It is fundamentally more personal than an essay and more specific within a certain time period than a memoir."

I love it!
