1. How To Write About Who You Are?
Introduction
Essay Writing is a type of text. Text is mainly about two types: Fiction and Non-Fiction.







There are mainly two ways of narrating your story to the world or telling
about yourself, i.e. biographies and autobiographies. The type of text
which deals with the information of personal pronouns is known as
autobiography. However, the information about a particular personality
that has been shared by someone else is known as biography. Biography
and autobiography both chronologically deal with detail and need very
peculiar and minute information. It also requires the opinions, feelings, and emotions of a particular
person at different times in life.







Fiction
Type of text which is not real,
based on made up stories.
For Example:
Cartoons, animated movies,
fantasy stories, video games
Non-Fiction
Type of text which is real, based on
facts.
For Example:
News, documentaries,
Encyclopedia, Text books
containing explanatory text,
Biography, Autobiography
Biography
Biography deals with the facts of a person’s
life. It has not been written by the subject of
book and that is why written in third person
pronoun. It can be written about a
personality who is no longer alive.
Autobiography
Autobiography deals with the facts of a
person’s life. It is written by the subject
himself or herself and that is why it is always
written in first person pronoun or personal
pronoun. It cannot be written by a dead
indivisual but yes it may be published after
the deceised of the subject.

2. Common Features about Biography and Autobiography
Most of the features are common in biographies and autobiographies, except the
usage of pronouns, and it is only because of the writer. If the subject has generated
the content, then a personal pronoun will be used, and if the researcher has
generated the content, the third person pronoun is used. Common features are as
follows:
 When and where the subject has born
 Family
 Early life
 Interpersonal Affairs
 Experiences and Feelings
 Journey
 Struggle and Achievements
 People influenced by
 Ending Note
There is one more way of telling the world about yourself, but that does not require detailed information
through articles and documentaries.
Difference between Biography/Autobiography and Articles/Documentaries
Biographies and autobiographies cannot be published without the consent of that particular person.
Autobipgraphies are written mainly by personalities themselves, and this is first-hand information. It is
perceived that whatever information or content published in an autobiography is entirely logical, and the
author has taken complete responsibility in case of any controversy arrived. Biography is also a life history
or story of a particular person but written by someone else but with that specific personality's consent. The

3. support's responsibility lies on the shoulder of the character about which the content has been generated.

However, articles and documentaries can be covered by anyone and published or presented on any platform
with a particular organization's permission. The consent of a specific person is not mandatory. An article
or documentary may be issued with or without the consent of one specific character. Whatever the content
is posted in articles or documentaries is not the responsibility of that specific personality. In fact, in this
case, nature has a right to sue the publisher for publishing appropriate or false content in someone's name.
