When we hear the word "autobiography" we usually think about very famous people and great influencers of history, but why don't we think about ourselves. mostly... and this also happens to me - we think our lives are boring and gray. However, I will just take a moment for you to realize how crazy and fun your life might be if you just decide to talk about it.
Have you heard the story about Rodrigo?
When we tell stories, we open windows in people’s imagination, we connect them to our past. Let them live, in their own canvas, the art that was our life. and that is what we did here in 10th grade. We open ourselves to the world so people would know about our stories and our emotions, learning from us more than what they see but what we have lived so far. As such, the idea of our project came to fruition.
So, it is time for you to let us talk about our story!
Here, I add some extra info about different kinds of biographies and what they want to say. go check them. Finally, don't forget to go to our main page and check all the other stories from the students. I assure you that you are going to have a lot of fun. Also, don’t forget to leave your comments.
WELCOME TO MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
Life
Autobiographical works are by nature subjective. The inability—or unwillingness—of the author to accurately recall memories has in certain cases resulted in misleading or incorrect information. Some sociologists and psychologists have noted that autobiography offers the author the ability to recreate history.
Spiritual autobiography
Spiritual autobiography is an account of an author's struggle or journey towards God, followed by conversion a religious conversion, often interrupted by moments of regression. The author re-frames their life as a demonstration of divine intention through encounters with the Divine. The earliest example of a spiritual autobiography is Augustine's Confessions though the tradition has expanded to include other religious traditions in works such as Zahid Rohari's An Autobiography and Black Elk Speaks. The spiritual autobiography often serves as an endorsement of their religion.
Memoirs
A memoir is slightly different in character from an autobiography. While an autobiography typically focuses on the "life and times" of the writer, a memoir has a narrower, more intimate focus on the author's memories, feelings and emotions. Memoirs have often been written by politicians or military leaders as a way to record and publish an account of their public exploits. One early example is that of Julius Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico, also known as Commentaries on the Gallic Wars. In the work, Caesar describes the battles that took place during the nine years that he spent fighting local armies in the Gallic Wars. His second memoir, Commentarii de Bello Civili (or Commentaries on the Civil War) is an account of the events that took place between 49 and 48 BC in the civil war against Gnaeus Pompeius and the Senate.
Fictional autobiography
The term "fictional autobiography" signifies novels about a fictional character written as though the character were writing their own autobiography, meaning that the character is the first-person narrator and that the novel addresses both internal and external experiences of the character. Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders is an early example. Charles Dickens' David Copperfield is another such classic, and J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye is a well-known modern example of fictional autobiography. Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre is yet another example of fictional autobiography, as noted on the front page of the original version. The term may also apply to works of fiction purporting to be autobiographies of real characters, e.g., Robert Nye's Memoirs of Lord Byron.
