    CNF-L3-W3-Biography and Autobiography

    Uploaded by

    Christine Joy Canabe
    Biography and autobiography are both forms of literary nonfiction that tell someone's life story. A biography is written about someone else's life in third person, while an autobiography tells one's own story using the first person pronoun "I". When writing them, it is important to research the subject's life thoroughly, begin with an engaging anecdote or quote, focus on the most revealing events, and leave out unnecessary details, all while writing in chronological order.
