TPO-08 - Integrated Writing Task Toward the end of his life, the Chevalier de Seingalt (1725-1798) wrote a long memoir recounting his life and adventures. The Chevalier was a somewhat controversial figure, but since he met many famous people, including ki

The lecture argues that no memoir is correct in every detail; however, Chevalier’s memoir is pretty accurate and reliable. This doesn’t agree with the passage claiming that the Chevalier distorted or invented many events in the memoir to make his life seem more exciting and glamorous than it really was.

To begin with, the passage doubts the accuracy that he was wealthy because he borrowed a lot of money from Swizz merchant. The lecture argues that borrowing money from merchant doesn’t mean Chevalier was poor because he possessed the property which had to be sold first to pay for the parties and gambling. It took time for the bank to process; thus, he had to borrow money when he waited for the money.

Moreover, the second difference between the passage and lecture is about the accuracy of the conversation between he and Voltaire. The passage states that the memoir was written many years after the conversation; therefore, exact details would be skeptical. The lecture suggests that Chevalier states his memoir every night. Even his server confirmed that he noted his memoir and journals regularly.

Last, the passage shows that Chevalier’s escape from a Venice prison is also questioned. Chevalier had many politically influential friends who can offer him a bribe. The lecture contends that other prisoners had even more powerful friends, yet no one got out of the prions through bribery. What’s more, the record indicates that the ceiling of the prison had been repaired soon after his breaking out.
