Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they respond to the
specific points made in the reading passage.
The article states that memoir written by Chevalier de Seingalt about his life is doubted by many of the critics and there are three reasons for it. However, the professor refutes all of those doubts by giving some reasons contrary to those doubts and proves memoirs' accuracy and reliability.
Firstly, the reading states that Chevalier spent money extravagantly in gambling and parties that critics believe that was possible due to borrowing money from others. However, the professor refutes this claim by stating that Chevalier sold his assets specifically his property. Therefore, in order for assets to be converted into money it requires some time and such time span enabled Chevalier to borrow money from someone else. Consequently, it does not show that he was poor.
Secondly, the reading posits that memoir containing the conservation between Chevalier and Voltaire is of questionable authenticity because it is not possible for anyone to remember the phrases used in conservation for long time. In contrast, the professor claims that when Chevalier came back to hotel each night after conservation with Voltaire, he used to recall and write all of those sentences spoke during conservation. This is justified by the people who used to be with Chevalier and noticed him writing those meeting sentences. Thus, declining the doubt on accuracy of that conservation.
Finally, the reading claims that according to critics, memoir stating event of Chevailers' escape from prison in Venice, Italy is doubtful because they think that it was not the trick of him to make hole in ceiling and climb through the roof but his friends in Venice who offered a bribe. Yet, the professor rejects this doubt and states that other people in the prison had better friends than Chevalier, therefore they could offer them bribe. Furthermore, the professor says that the ceiling of the prison was later repaired after the escape of Chevalier. Consequently, the reason for repair should be hole pierced by Chevalier.
In conclusion, the points made in lecture contrast with the reading. All the reasons from professors' lecture demonstrate that reasons stated in reading about doubtful authenticity of memoir are invalid.
