How is an autobiography different from a memoir? memoir is a longer form of literary nonfiction than an autobiography. an autobiography is a shorter version of a memoir. an autobiography covers the entire life of an individual, whereas a memoir focuses on one or two events. a memoir is a spoken word, and an autobiography is a written depiction of a person's life.

The correct answer is C. An autobiography covers the entire life of an individual, whereas a memoir focuses on one or two events

Explanation:

Autobiographies and memoirs are both personal account texts that focus on the life of someone, but they differ on the type of information they cover. To begin, an autobiography is a type of text in which an individual writes about the most important aspect of his life for example about family, education, profession, hobbies, etc. Because of this, these type of texts rely mainly on the author's perspective and memory and covers most important moments from the birth of the author to the moment in which the author decides to write its autobiography. Similarly, the memoirs are a type of text that relies on the memories and perspective from the author that writes about his life, but different to biographies they do not include all the important events but just one or few events that had an impact on the author. In this way, a memoir is narrower than an autobiography and therefore the difference between both is that " An autobiography covers the entire life of an individual, whereas a memoir focuses on one or two events".

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
