• MEMOIRTHIS IS A MORE FOCUSED TERM THAN AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OR BIOGRAPHY. IN

A MEMOIR, A WRITER HIMSELF/HERSELF NARRATES THE DETAILS OF A PARTICULAR EVENT OR SITUATION OCCURRED IN HIS/HER LIFETIME.

EXAMPLE OF BIOGRAPHY IN LITERATURE• SHAKESPEARE: A LIFE BY PARK HONANIT IS THE MOST ACCURATE, UP-TO-DATE AND COMPLETE NARRATIVE EVER WRITTEN

ABOUT THE LIFE OF SHAKESPEARE. PARK HONAN HAS USED RICH AND FRESH INFORMATION ABOUT SHAKESPEARE IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE PERCEPTIONS OF THE READERS FOR THE PLAYWRIGHT AND HIS ROLE AS A POET AND ACTOR. THIS BOOK COMPLETELY DIFFERS FROM OTHER BIOGRAPHIES THAT IMAGINE DIFFERENT ROLES FOR HIM, COMMENTING ON HIS SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS AND COLORFUL INTRIGUES. THOUGH DETAILED PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORIES AND IMAGINATIVE REFORMS ABOUT HIM COULD BE AMUSING, IN FACT, THEY DAMAGE CREDIBILITY OF THE SOURCES. THEREFORE, MANY ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO KNOW ABOUT HIM, WHICH IS NOT A NEW THING BUT THIS ONE IS A UNIQUE EXAMPLE.

FUNCTION OF BIOGRAPHY

• TO PROVIDE DETAILS REGARDING THE LIFE OF A PERSON OR A THING IN A ENTERTAINING BUT INFORMATIVE MANNER.• THE MOST INSPIRATIONAL LIFE STORIES COULD MOTIVATE AND PUT CONFIDENCE INTO

THE READERS
