Autobiography generally tends to be selective: the author includes and omits material in order to fashion a certain image of himself or herself. In religious autobiography this self-portrayal is meant to be instructive in some way that benefits piety. Select either Ignatius or Teresa and describe what the author seems to be emphasizing in the text. What is his or her relation to the ecclesiastical (and secular) world around him or her, what (if any) are the points of development or spiritual self-awareness, and is the author trying to justify himself or herself? Please indicate whether you think the author is conveying a message; and if so, describe it.
