What Is a Biography?
A biography is a detailed third person account of another person’s life story. It contains basic
information about the subject’s life—like their place of birth, education, and interests. A
biography may also chronicle relationships with family members, as well as major events in
the subject’s childhood and how those influenced their upbringing. A biography details the
various accomplishments and life events of a real person, but it’s more than facts and figures—
it comes to life with great stories told from beginning to middle to end.
