Biographies and Autobiographies

---

An autobiography (from the Greek, αὐτός-autos self + βίος-bios life + γράφειν-graphein to write) is a written account of the life of a person written by that person. In other words, it is the story that a person wrote about themselves. 
A biography is a narrative that records the action and recreates the personality of another person's life.
