A story written about yourself is called an autobiography.
An autobiography is a non-fiction account of the author's own life. It typically covers significant events, experiences, and relationships from the author's perspective.
Here are some key characteristics of an autobiography:
- Focus on the author's life: The story centers around the author's personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings.
- First-person narrative: Autobiographies are written in the first person, using "I" and "me."
- Chronological order: While not always strictly chronological, autobiographies often follow a timeline, covering events in the order they happened.
- Personal reflection: Autobiographies often include the author's reflections on their life, lessons learned, and insights gained.
Examples of famous autobiographies:
- The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
- I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
- Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela
