Autobiography

An autobiography is a self-written account of an individual’s life, detailing their personal experiences, thoughts, and reflections. It is a narrative that provides insight into the author’s life events, challenges, achievements, and personal development from their own perspective. Unlike biographies, which are written by someone else about an individual, autobiographies are distinct in that they offer direct insights and interpretations from the subject themselves. This form of writing often includes significant themes such as identity, memory, and the influence of various social and cultural factors on the author’s life. Autobiographies can vary in style, structure, and depth, encompassing everything from a chronological timeline of events to thematic explorations of particular aspects of the author’s life.
