| | Shades of Deeper Meaning: On Writing Autobiography |
 | | Richard Rodriguez observes that his autobiography is “a book about language.” Rodriguez writes, “Language has been the great subject of my life.... | | | An understanding of how the autobiographical text comes into being through an ongoing interplay of dialogue reveals it as a social discourse most readily available for advanced writing students to analyze and examine the intricate interrelationships between writer, text, and world while they are actively producing such texts themselves. | | | In this same vein of gaining knowledge through reflection, here is the way another student, Virginia, expresses her experience with writing autobiography (in an afterword to an exploration of her relationships with her father and her step-father): |

| | how to write an autobiography |
| | "Autobiographies have been written since A.D. 400 when an early Christian leader, Saint Augustine, wrote his." An autobiography is information about one's own life written by that one person. | | | When writing your own autobiography, use interesting facts to explain as much about yourself as you can. | | | Pick a year and explain how it will be but explain it through your eyes. |

| | A Note on the text: The EServer edition of Franklin's autobiography originated with the Gutenberg Project text, from an edition originally edited by Charles W. Eliot, L.L.D., and published by P.F. Collier and Son Company, New York in 1909. | | | Changes for this edition include the use of HTML format, the addition of margins and italics, and the division of Franklin's text into eight parts. | | | Ben Franklin was many things, but perhaps more than anything else he was a politician, and there is no more reason to expect an unbiased autobiography from Franklin than from any other politician. |

| | Autobiographers may leave out whatever they wish, and include anything from human geography to reproach; they may turn their books into a litany, a confession, an apology, a cathartic act, a collection of anecdotes or gossip, or even into a space to wash dirty laundry. | | | Autobiography is most commonly defined as.the biography of a person narrated by that person., or.the story of a person's life as told by him or herself.. | | | With such a definition it is possible to trace the origin of the genre to post-Homeric Greece and works by Hesiod, Empedocles, Plato (Epistle 7) and Isocrates, and then see it being developed in the Roman world in Ovid's autobiographical poems, Cicero's Brutus and St Augustine's Confessions (circa 430). |
