In dealing with my memoir and personal essay I told the absolutwe truth and used the real characters. When I write I get a better grasp and can work with the flow of my paper better when i am telling the truth and incorporating it to what I feel in dealing with the situation.

I know what you mean about getting a better grasp on what you have to say as you are writing. Writing slows things down - helps you see more clearly. I definitely am more truthful when I write than when I talk.
At the same time, it can be hard to KNOW when you are telling the truth - at least if you believe that human beings have an unconscious it can be.
As you did the writing in class - did you discover any places where you selected certain details and not others? Did you think about why you wrote it the way you did?
