An autobiography is an account of the author’s own life. They almost always are told from the first-person point of view using the pronouns I and me. They focus on the most significant events/people over a period of time in the author’s life, using cause and effect to show connections. The purpose is usually not purely informational but to shed light on an influential time or issue. You usually have to infer the purpose based on what the author reveals.
