📚 Biography • Autobiography • Memoir — Know the Difference! ✍️
These three nonfiction genres are often confused, but each tells a story in a unique way.
📖 Biography — Someone writes the story of another person's life.
🖋️ Autobiography — The author writes the story of their own life, usually from childhood to the present.
💭 Memoir — A personal account that focuses on a meaningful experience, theme, or transformative chapter rather than an entire life.
Understanding these distinctions is essential for IB MYP English Language & Literature, IGCSE, and beyond. Strong readers don't just identify the genre—they understand how purpose, perspective, and structure shape meaning.
