Question

1. Explain the difference between an autobiographical narrative and a biographical narrative.

2. What does the biography take away from the autobiography?

3. How do these narratives help historians?

Answer 1

1. An autobiographical narrative is a story about a persons life written by that person. A biographical narrative is a story about a person’s life written by someone else.

2. A biography takes away the personal perspective that an autobiography has, and it also usually includes more objective information about the person’s life.

3. The narratives help historians by providing a personal account of a person’s life, which can help historians gain a deeper understanding of the person and their experiences.
