I must confess I hardly read these readings. I'll most likely reread them when I have the times, as the excerpts we read aloud in class were more informative than anything I really gleamed from the reading.
I wrote a great deal of notes in class on the subject but I do believe the few constructive notes I came away with in class were;
The materials of a memento should be as significant as the memory they are trying to convey
A memento is best when it make you emote
A memento must have a compelling story behind it
The history of mementos (such as the babies and their birth mothers' mementos,) is fascinating and I must really do further research for a potential instillation based on the process of mementos
Mementos are of a smaller size
The action of holding a memento can itself mean something
