Writing is not an easy task. Not so much the act of picking a piece o paper and a pencil , but to make art of it it's not something anyone can do. In my personal experience it's something I find challenging.

Naipaul tells us the story of his journey on becoming a writer. I founded interesting that from I young age, 11 years old, Naipaul knew his dream was to become. It's interesting because knowing what you want to be when you grow up at that age is something unusual. Some people don't even know until there third year of college. I remember my hole life I wanted to be an engineer and in my senior year of high school I just changed my mind and decided to go into pre-meds.
It's so amazing the format Naipaul uses for his autobiography. He tells his autobiography in away that engages you and it feels like I'm reading a fun story. Not an autobiography. The way he uses his characters as mirrors is just fascinating.
Something I learned from this reading is that if you want something so bad, you can reach it if you don't give up and commit to it. When Naipaul started writing he says he was extremely awful. That he couldn't find his voice and he was terrible at English composition. After a lot of years of hard work he finally found his voice. "To be successful you have to be persistent and the fist secret of perseverance is a good start"(Charles Atlas).
I really agree with you about Naipaul. His way of changing characters is amazing. I think that you understand perfectly how to write an autobiography, at the class you impressed me with your story and your way to write it.
