Biography

=Biography = Biographies are a reliable source of historical or personal facts because they are required to be accurate and provide thoroughly documented sources. These stories allow the reader to step into the shoes of another person and experience other ways of life and ideas. They allow the reader to explore human behavior in others and to understand another point of view. While hard facts and historical data are a important part of a biography the anecdotes and small details of daily life that make life interesting are just as necessary to give a well rounded view of the main character. Everyone has an embarrassing moment to share and a special holiday they remember fondly, these memories are what make the reader relate to the character.
