Is the song Memory from Cats an example of rhetorical apostrophe?

I think it could be read at places both ways, a personification and just a regular noun. Overall, though, I do not think it uses rhetorical apostrophe, which means, "Apostrophe, a rhetorical device by which a speaker turns from the audience as a whole to address a single person or thing." Instead, Streisand draws the audience into the song to recall their own memories, especially the fleeting memories of living.Here are the lyrics with some comments:MidnightBarbra StreisandNot a sound from the pavementHas the moon lost her memory (here, the moon is personified as having a memory)She is smiling aloneIn the lamplightThe withered leaves collect at my feetAnd the wind begins to moanMemory, all alone in the moonlight (here, it COULD be read as "Memory is" or "Memory's, all alone in the moonlight." However, Streisand could then have just said Memory's for Memory is...)I can dream of the old days (Here, referring to herself means it is her memory.)Life was beautiful thenI remember the time I knew what happiness was (Again, "I remember" contains no personification.)Let the memory live again (Let THE memory-- again, it does not sound like memory is an entity.)Every street lamp seems to beatA fatalistic warningSomeone mutters and the street lamp sputtersSoon it will be morningDaylightI must wait for the sunriseI must think of a new life andI mustn't give in (Here, a contraction or apostrophe of omission is used.)When the dawn comesTonight will be a memory too ("A" memory-- no personification here.)And a new day will beginBurnt out ends of smoky daysThe stale court smell of morningA street lamp diesAnother night is overAnother day is dawningTouch me,It is so easy to leave meAll alone with the memory (THE memory-- again, it does not sound like memory is an entity.)Of my days in the sunIf you'll touch me,You'll understand what happiness isLook, a new day has begun...A possible revision to make it a more rhetorical apostrophe might be:Memory, will you continually leave meWill you make today, as if it had never beenWhen you leave me, my past thins at duskMaking me search for you, all over again--


What is short term memory loss?

What was the question again ------------------------------------------------------- In general Memory loss is referred to as Amnesia, is an abnormal degree of forgetfulness and/or inability to recall past events. Depending on the cause, memory loss may have either a sudden or gradual onset, and memory loss may be permanent or temporary. Memory loss may be limited to the inability to recall recent events, events from the distant past, or a combination of both. Memory loss has multiple causes including a number of chronic medical and psychological conditions, trauma, medications, drug or alcohol abuse, and infections. Answer for your question: Transient global amnesia (TGA) is "one of the most striking syndromes in clinical neurology" whose key defining characteristic is temporary but almost total disruption of short-term memory with a range of problems accessing older memories. A person in a state of TGA exhibits no other signs of impaired cognitive functioning but recalls only the last few moments of consciousness plus deeply-encoded facts of the individual's past, such as his or her own name. A person having an attack of TGA has almost no capacity to establish new memories, but generally appears otherwise mentally alert and lucid, possessing full knowledge of self-identity and identity of close family, and maintaining intact perceptual skills and a wide repertoire of complex learned behavior. The individual simply cannot recall anything that happened outside the last few minutes, while memory for more temporally distant events may or may not be largely intact. This onset of TGA is generally fairly rapid, and its duration varies but generally lasts between 2 to 8 hours. A person experiencing TGA typically has memory only of the past few minutes or less, and cannot retain new information beyond that period of time. One of its bizarre features is perseverance, in which the victim of an attack faithfully and methodically repeats statements or questions, complete with profoundly identical intonation and gestures "as if a fragment of a sound track is being repeatedly rerun." Other types of Amnesia includes ... Post-traumatic amnesia, Dissociative amnesia, Lacunar amnesia, Childhood amnesia, Source amnesia, Memory distrust syndrome, Blackout phenomenon, Korsakoff's syndrome, Drug-induced amnesia, Prosopamnesia, Situation-Specific amnesia etc.

How can you make autistic kids less autistic?

You can't - autism is an absolute, you are either autistic or you are not and there is no way that a person can become 'less autistic'. A person with autism can improve in areas such as commnuication, social skills, and functioning, this tends to happen naturally as autistic people get older and learn new skills, but it is helped by supporting and understanding the autistic person.

Could autistics marry other autistics?

I am high functioning Autistic and I believe there are "Autistic types", kind of like categories of personality and compatibility. I could date another Autistic person if they were like me and would love to marry one but could never marry a typical person(can't stand living with them, no offence) I think how many Autistic people its easier to marry or date another autistic person and most Autistic on autistic relationships I know are far happier and longer than Autistic on NeuroTypical relationships. I would love to marry an autistic guy.
