You are so helpful. It really helped me determine how I can approach the different themes in different books about my time in Hungary. Thirsty for Hungary (importing and learning about wines); Getting hungary (3 different books about being a guest/visitor and how that helped me learn and experience the culture and language and people; living and teaching in Hungary and the sub themes of education and being in hosptials and the healthcare system there while I lived there; and the third one about traditions---weddings, holidays, day of the dead vs. Halloween, Easter, etc. and then a book about Hungry in Hungary--focused on my foodie experiences, eating, cooking, shopping and at restaurants or institutional foods, festival foods, and living without my own usual foods, as well as Thanksgiving in Hungary with other Americans.
I'm glad that the video has helped you to get some clarity on the different themes of your time in Hungary. It certainly sounds like you may at least have a trilogy of memoirs. Have you looked at any of Carol Drinkwater's memoirs which deal with her olive farm in the South of France, as well the history of olives and olive trees, and looking for the oldest olive grove in the world? Take a look at her Olive Memoir Series here: www.caroldrinkwater.com/books. You may find an inspiration for your Hungary Memoir Series.
very helpful thank you!! Almost finished with my first draft and have some many themes; I wrote everything I could think about. Don't have a title picked out either but I know it'll come. Merci!

I was searching for universal truths, and your explanation was incredibly insightful. As Kurds, we have endured numerous genocides, and I wanted to explore how we can discover common truths regarding the human experience.
@@sarwaazeez1369 I'm so glad I asked because that is a deep topic you are looking into given the context of genocide that you refer to. Are you writing a paper on this topic?
@@BrendaSmitJames Yes..right now I am working on a paper regarding Kurdish memoir and genocide..at the same time I am working on my own memoir as well. Yes, I agree with you, it is a very complicated and sensitive topic, especially if you are writing and reading all the material in the second language. Thanks a lot for your care and response❤️
