Biography vs autobiography ks2016

Translation vs interpretation

While biography is the record of someone else’s life, autobiography is the story of one’s own life written in the first person.

Autobiographies focus on the author’s personal experiences, thoughts, and interpretations, while biographies rely on research and external sources.

The narrative style of a biography is typically more detached and factual, while autobiographies are more personal and emotionally charged.

Biographies and autobiographies differ in perspective, content, and writing style.
