1. Autobiographies are written in the first person from the author’s point of view and they use first-person pronouns such as I, me, and my.

2. They recount the events of the author’s life in chronological order, although they may sometimes use flashbacks for added effect.

3. Autobiographies are usually very personal because the writer is connected to the events that they are writing about.

4. They include personal thoughts, feelings and opinions about the events and often describe how the events in their childhood or early life influenced them as a person.

5. To describe these events, they also use literary devices such as adjectives, similes and metaphors

6. Dates, times, individuals and specific places are used to describe the events in an autobiography as well. This helps to make the writing a more accurate reflection of the person’s life as it truly was.

7. Autobiographies usually end with the writer talking about what their hopes and plans for the future are. They reflect on what has happened in the past and how this has influenced the person that they are now.
