BIOGRAPHY
Biography Definition

A biography is simply a bio that gives an account or detailed description about the life of a
person. It entails basic facts such as childhood, education, career, relationships, family and
death. Biography is a literary genre that portrays the experiences of all these events occurred
in the life of a person mostly in a chronological order. Unlike a resume or profile, biography
provides life story of a subject, highlighting different aspects of his/her life. The person or the
writer, who writes biographies, is called as a biographer.
Types of Biography

There are three types of biography:

Autobiography

It tells the story of a persons life, who writes it himself or herself. However, sometimes
he/she may take guidance from a ghostwriter or collaborator.
Biography

It narrates the life story of a person written by another person or writer. It is further divided
into five categories:

Popular biography

Historical biography

Literary biography

Reference biography

Fictional biography

Memoir

This is a more focused term than an autobiography or a biography. In a memoir, a writer

himself/herself narrates the details of a particular event or situation occurred in his/her
lifetime.

Function of Biography

The function of writing biographies is to provide details regarding the life of a person or a
thing in an entertaining but informative manner. By the end of a biography, the readers feel
like they are well acquainted with the subject. Biographies are often non-fictional, but many
biographers also use novel-like format, because a story line would be become more
entertaining with the inclusion of strong exposition, rising conflict and then climax. Besides,
the most inspirational life stories could motivate and put confidence into the readers.

My Autobiography
I was born in January of 1960 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I was adopted at birth by Charles
and Mary Galvin (I was named for my father and my youngest sister is named for my
mother). We lived in a suburban neighorhood in the town of Chamblee, which has now been
surrounded by development. My parents adopted three more children (all girls!) before my
fathers job sent my family to the San Francisco Bay Area in June of 1967.
I grew up in Marin County, just north of the City, where I was active in Boy Scouts (I became
an Eagle Scout in 1976) and graduated from Marin Catholic High School in 1977. I studied
at the University of California at Berkeley for three years (1977-1980), where I planned to
major in Computer Science, but wound up taking courses also in Classics, Dutch (I won a
Princess Beatrix Scholarship from the Dutch governmentnow shes a queen and so am I!),
and Astronomy. During this time I lived in the Rockridge district in Oakland. I left the
university in 1980 to take a year off and never went back, much to my parents
disappointment.
I went to work as a word processor for a temporary help service and wound up doing that for
several years. Eventually, I began working with lawyers, and I have now worked in the legal
field almost exclusively for nearly 20 years.
I came out as a gay man on 27 May 1982 (an event I celebrate as a kind of second birthday
each year). I moved to San Francisco in the mid-1980s, and shortly thereafter had a domestic
partnership for a year and a half with a man I met over the net (my one, great, failed

romance!). I have remained a bachelor ever since. My dad, my three younger sisters and
their families (I have 5 nieces and 2 nephews at this writing) live in Sonoma County. My
mother passed away in 1983.
Presently, I am a word processing operator for a small law firm, and spend most of my free
time involved with church, Esperanto, civil rights activism, or spending time with friends and
family, some of whom have Web pages. I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy, and I love
to travel whenever I have the time and the money at the same moment.
