Question

What trait do autobiography and memoir have in common?

Answer 1

Autobiography - A story of a person written by that person. (Let's say I wrote a book about my life, that is an autobiography)

Memoir - It is very similar to an Autobiography. It is a story written by a person about a previous experience, but it has to deal with more emotions and is less factual. Try reading this http://www.liferichpublishing.com/AuthorResources/Nonfiction/Differences-Between-Memoir-AutoBiography.aspx
