Biographies and autobiographies are types of nonfiction literature.
A biography is the true story of someone’s whole life, written by another person. Some biographies are written about a person after that person has passed away. An autobiography is the true story of your own life that you write yourself. A biography can be as short as one paragraph, or it can be as long as 1,000 pages!
Your task is to select a person whom you would like to learn about! Think about what you would like to learn about that person and start to develop some questions.
Biographies follow the life of the subject in chronological order.
