BIOGRAPHY
A biography is simply the story of a real person’s life.
It could be about a person who is still alive, someone
who lived centuries ago, someone who is globally
famous, an unsung hero forgotten by history, or even
a unique group of people. The facts of their life, from
birth to death (or the present day of the author), are
included with life-changing moments often taking
center stage. The author usually points to the
subject’s childhood, coming-of-age events,
relationships, failures, and successes in order to
create a well-rounded description of her subject.
