On page 51 Ishmael talks about how his grandfather used to make him and his brother drink a special medicine to help them obtain knowledge in school. He says that he now has an excellent photographic memory that enables him to remember day-to-day details of his life. This would definitely have to be the worst case scenario of his situation, going through all that trauma and seeing so many unpleasant things and never being able to forget them? What if you went through what he did and could never forget any of it...

I know what you mean. I personally think that I have bad memory and wish that it was better for a number of reasons but as Ismael shows, you don't alway want to remeber everything.
