Unforgettable

Writing an autobiography is not a hard task as you will write about your own experience. This experience could be good or tragic, memorable or forgetful, but either way, it is something that you have lived sometime, somewhere, with somebody, or somehow. All kinds of information are helpful and necessary to situate the reader.

By the time that you are writing you need to consider who the reader of the plot that you are writing is, thus it will help you in making a better story and structure. Identifying precisely all the characters and their characteristics such as personality, template, tone of voice, and every single important information that you can provide from this person is an important point, as this way you can approach your life experience with the reader’s life, making the essay interesting and catching the reader until the end.

The character beyond yourself doesn’t have necessarily to be a friend, or somebody known; when the fact has occurred you could be alone, but somebody was watching you or passing by. The character can be an animal, a person, a group, in conclusion, something that was on the same place as you in that specific time, because they have their importance on the fact. Somehow they participate in the event, and it is also necessary to specify their action on the scene. If it shows that they were helping, participating, or just looking is also very important.

Exposing the character trough a dialogue is valid and efficient if a conversation was made between you, if not, describing the person and their manners is already enough. The conclusion is that as much as you can characterize and tell about the other character in your history is better because it makes them vivid and memorable, and provides to the reader the background for your story. However, choosing the best way to introduce the character as the whole plot is essential considering who the reader is. After that and with a good story the essay would be successful.
