Both reading and lecture discuss a memoir that was written by Chevalier about his life and adventures. Although this memoir was a precious historical source for the European but the reading doubts about the accuracy of the memoir and provides three pieces of evidence against the memoir. However, the lecturer rebuts them and gives three proofs to support the claim.
Firstly, the reading passage emphasizes that Chevalier claims that he was wealthy but he borrowed money from a merchant so critics argue that as he was a rich man he didn't need to borrow money from anyone. However, the lecturer counters this statement by contending that taking money from someone else doesn't prove that he was poor. He took money for somedays until his wealth converted to real money, consequently, everybody needs some time regarding this issue.
Secondly, the reading passage argues that the memoir was written after so many years of the actual conversation. So, the actual phrases of the conversation impossible to remember. In contrast, the speaker opposes this notion and said that chevalier wrote every conversation each night. So there should be no doubt that everything he was written was accurate.
Third, and last the writer criticizes that Chevalier jailers were bribed to free him this made the memoir more interesting. Moreover, he continues saying that he had a familiar person in politics which made this easier to escape. Nonetheless, the professor mentions that all of those claims were true, and one of the pieces of evidence that after he escaped the prison's ceiling needed repair. So, if he didn't escape the ceiling couldn't need repair.
