Anne Lamott stated “When writers write from a place of insight and real caring about the truth, they have the ability to throw the lights on for the reader.” I believe this means that the writer lived it and will write the truth, so we the readers can see what its like. General James H. Doolittle wrote I Could Never Be So Lucky Again, which is an Autobiography about his life the Doolittle Raid and more. The Autobiography that Doolittle wrote is an excellent example to this quote. This Autobiography includes tons of setting. This quote you should agree to, because its very hard to pin a solid reason to disagree and prove, especially when this quote applies to an Autobiography.
In I Could Never Be So Lucky Again, Gen. James H. Doolittle recited his life in depth and talks about the success hed had and didnt have. Most known for the Doolittle Raid against Japan in World War II, but also gave all his knowledge to expand Aeronautics and Astronautics Developments. Setting is in almost in every paragraph in this Autobiography. Setting fits this quote because the area around the writer speaks the truth of his setting. An example thats simple but shows a lot, is when he was boy, writes, “To make a little pocket money, I got a job selling the Nome Nugget, one of the towns several newspapers and the only one still being published there today,” this takes part in Nome, Alaska. The above writing shows setting proves, that the quote can apply here, because he wrote the truth and we the reader sees the truth that is told.
The quote shows that you, when reading can see the picture of the writers truth being to in there words. In I Could Never Be So Lucky Again, Gen. James H. Doolittle does same thing, use the setting to explain his truth. This quote I agree with and I hope you the reader understand my argument.
