For this assignment, you will need to watch the movie "Memento."

In the movie, Leonard (the main character) is portrayed as having a memory problem. The first thing you need to do is diagnose him (ie. what is the memory disorder that he has?).

Next, the movie shows him using all sorts of strategies (pictures, tattoos, etc) to get through life. Is this realistic? That is, could someone with this disorder truly live this way? The movie also portrays him as living continuously for a few minutes at a time. Is this realistic?

To get the full points for this assignment, it will require that you do some research about this disorder. Please provide a reference/citation so that I can locate your source(s). The paper should be no more than 2 pages (no less than 1 page) (double spaced) and MUST address all of the above. Please provide specific examples from the movie to support your points.

Ten points can be earned for completing this assignment properly. The assignment is due on or before 1/26.
