Read the excerpt from Loom and Spindle.
That was a hard, cold winter, and for warmth's sake my
mother and her four children all slept in one bed, two at the
foot and three at the head, but her richer neighbor could
not get the little daughter, and, contrary to all the modern
notions about hygiene, we were a healthful and a robust
brood. We all, except the baby, went to school every day,
and Saturday afternoons I went to a charity school to learn
to sew. which characteristics of a memoir are present in the excerpt? check all that apply
