How to Read Autobiography and Biography
Subjects / English / Media and Non-Fiction Texts
In this title we will consider biography and autobiography. Simply, a biography is when a writer writes about the life of someone else. For example, there are many biographies about sportsmen and women. Other examples may be from the world of politics, such as Winston Churchill, who has had a number of biographies written about him. An autobiography, on the other hand, is when a person writes their own story. This is when they spend the time writing down their own memories of what has happened to them. For example, Chris Moyles from the Radio One Breakfast Show has recently written his autobiography. In this title we will discuss the sort of audience that purchase this type of non-fiction text, as well as how they are presented to us and the style of language they use.
