This is an autobiography. These are my thoughts; therefore it’s a snippet of my thoughts that I am sharing with you. You get a small look inside my head. While this is not mentioning my hopes, my dreams, my past, or anything else to that nature, it is showing you, the reader, some of my thought process. This is my response. I really enjoyed this article and how it challenged what most people think of when they think of an autobiography. The fact that EVERYTHING we write is never going to be the same as someone else’s writing. The fact that even though we may just be writing a research paper, we do small things to twist the wording so that it’s not just a dry source but it’s got personality to go along with the information. And when writing poems or “pieces of fiction” not all of the information may be true…but because I thought of them, they were my ideas. That makes them mine. That enforces the idea behind everything you write is an autobiography. It’s something you can’t escape. It’s the voice inside your head helping you write down something that will set you apart from everyone else.
Very cool approach you took on this one, explaining a bit about how and demonstrating how everything is autobiographical
