A biography is simply the story
of a life. Biographies
analyze and interpret the events in a person's life. They try to find connections,
explain the meaning of unexpected actions or mysteries, and make arguments
about the significance of the person's accomplishments or life activities.
Biographies are usually about famous or infamous people, but even a biography of an ordinary
person can tell us a lot about a particular time and place. They are often
about historical figures, but they can also be about people still living. Many
biographies are written in chronological order. Some focus on a theme and others focus
on specific topics or accomplishments.
