Explain the differences between a biography, autobiography, and memoir

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER:
Both biographies and autobiographies tell the story of the life or a portion of the life of a real person, but autobiographies are self-authored. Memoirs are interpretive accounts in which facts and events in the life of the author are selected, arranged, and constructed in order to bring out a particular theme or personality trait. Memoirs certainly contain facts, but they are based upon and interpreted through memory.
