Autobiographical Genres Memoir Autobiography Biography Personal Narrative

Autobiography Who you are in life – Based on facts and research! What life means to you – Your feelings, both past and present What your outlook on the future is – Usually based on one event Written by same person that it is about

Biography History of a lifetime – Must cover entire life Most important facts and events of someone’s life Contains anecdotes, memories, trips and cherished moments Is about another person

Personal Narrative Focus is on a particular event in a person/writer’s life 1st person Uses diction and sensory details to express emotions that place the reader in the personal experience

Memoir Autobiographical writing Captures certain highlights or meaningful moments in one’s past Contemplation of the meaning of that event at the time of the writing of the memoir Much more emotional and connects the writer to someone or something that had and impact on their life

Characteristics of the Memoir Form Focus on a brief period of time or series of related events Narrative structure (storytelling elements like setting, plot, imagery, characterization, foreshadowing/flashback, and irony and symbolism) Retrospective Fictional quality Higher emotional level/more personal reconstruction of the events and their impact

Memoirs – Another perspective Explores an event or series of related events that remain lodged in memory Describes the events and then shows, either directly or indirectly why they are significant WHY do you STILL remember them? Focused in time (not long) Focuses on problem/conflict and its resolution and why the resolution is significant in your life

Why we read memoirs… BECAUSE GOOD READERS… Make connections Question Visualize Infer Synthesize …and these things expose essential truths and help us evaluate our own lives and the world around us!

Good Readers Make connections to books or works they read by: 1. Connect books they read by connecting it to another book (text-to-text) 2. Connect to something in their own life (text to self)
