how is autobiography different from biography
Answers
Answer:Biography
The only difference between a biography and an autobiography is that an autobiography is written by the person who is the subject of the book. Therefore, autobiography is actually a sub-category of biography. Biographies are a much broader category than autobiographies, because they are written about historical and ancient figures as well as contemporary people, and may assume a wide variety of angles on their subjects. Some biographies are written by people who were selected by the subject of the biography, while others are "tell-all" books that aren't necessarily endorsed by the subject.
Autobiography
Autobiographies are written by people who feel that their life stories have relevance and interest to the reading public. Sometimes this is true and sometimes it isn't. In the former case the book can become a best-seller, as in "The Autobiography of Malcolm X." In the latter case, the book slides quickly into obscurity.
