In " Six Days: Some Rememberings," Grace Paley talked about her six days of experience in jail, at the Women’s House of Detention. Located in her own neighborhood, in the middle of Greenwich Village. Paley started her essay by expressing her dissatisfaction regarding her sentence and later blamed herself for being unable to send her son to the summer camp. Paley admits she doesn’t remember which exact year the incident happened; as a result, only mentioned that it was during the American War in Vietnam and referred it as “the famous sixties.” Her statement incites my curiosity; later concluded, at the end of her essay when she stated she didn’t lack pen and paper but her lack of ability to remember or memorize.
