The story includes details about how the person talks, feels, and thinks about things. A biography may span the subject’s life, or it may tell about only an import part of the person’s life. An account that spans the person’s entire life is almost always told in chronological order -- the order in time in which the events occurred. A biography often focuses on the most important events in a person’s life. It usually describes a person’s achievements or talents. A biography is usually written in third person. bio- = life -graphy = writing about a specific subject
