Autobiography

I was born in Aquarius, but I did not emphasize too much of the astrological signs. But I am a baby. I was born on the Florida Gulf Coast. I learned to swim before walking, learning to fish before talking, and learning to ski before riding a bicycle. I do not remember that water is not part of my life. I grew up in rivers and streams using canoes, lakes, pipes. I started surfing for several years until my head broke and almost drowned.

You may be familiar with the term "autobiography", but "social autobiography" brings further confusion. But "social autobiography" is a story about your own story, just like autobiography. In many cases, social autobiography is assigned to an elementary level sociology course. Sociology is not an abstract science but helps students understand that they play an important role in the student's daily life.

Autobiography is the story of a person's life written by people. This term was not used until late 18th century. Early autobiography tends to focus on writer's religious development. Benjamin Franklin's autobiography may be the first secular (non-religious) autobiography published in the United States. Autobiography became increasingly popular during the 19th century, perhaps inspired by the interest of romantic writers to developing themselves. Writing letters is an important way of personal and business communication in the historical era with no rapid traffic and communication. Numerous letters of James Madison's thesis indicate the importance of communication in his life as Madison's life, in particular political thinkers and leaders.

The second reason that autobiography is still classical is due to historical reasons. This work is one of the most important autobiography in English. They are everywhere in Burns and aristocrats around the world today, but when they lived in Franklin, autobiography as a literary form did not appear, at least in a non-religious form. His autobiography defines the secular literary tradition; he establishes his autobiography as a work not only to convey his life but also to educate the reader about a better way of living. Although this form has changed through American history, it is safe to say that classics such as Frederick Douglas's "story and education of Henry Adams" are mostly styles and shapes. I thank the tradition established by Franklin. The second part of the autobiography that describes a range of benefits and ways to accomplish them has affected millions of readers over the past two centuries.
