	Thomas Jefferson - Autobiography
		Counter-resolutions, and an address to the King, by the H. of Burgesses were agreed to with little opposition, and a spirit manifestly displayed of considering the cause of Massachusetts as a common one.
		This act too would amount to an acknowledgment by each of our independance and of our reception into the fraternity of nations; which altho', as possessing our station of right and in fact, we would not condescend to ask, we were not unwilling to furnish opportunities for receiving their friendly salutations and welcome.
		An European copy, by the death of the owner, got into the hands of a bookseller, who engaged it's translation, and when ready for the press, communicated his intentions and manuscript to me, without any other permission than that of suggesting corrections.

		In a sense, autobiography is a form of biography, the writing of a life story.
		Biographers generally rely on a wide variety of documents and viewpoints; an autobiography may be based entirely on the writer's memory.
		Where an autobiography focuses on the "life and times" of the character, a memoir has a narrower, more intimate focus on his or her own memories, feelings and emotions.

	The Avalon Project : Jefferson's Autobiography
		Our minds were circumscribed within narrow limits by an habitual belief that it was our duty to be subordinate to the mother country in all matters of government, to direct all our labors in subservience to her interests, and even to observe a bigoted intolerance for all religions but hers.
		Counter-resolutions, & an address to the King, by the H. of Burgesses were agreed to with little opposition, & a spirit manifestly displayed of considering the cause of Massachusetts as a common one.
		Against this inactivity the zeal and industry of sectarian preachers had an open and undisputed field; and by the time of the revolution, a majority of the inhabitants had become dissenters from the established church, but were still obliged to pay contributions to support the Pastors of the minority.

		It has also seemed to me that in an age of transition in opinions, there may be somewhat both of interest and of benefit in noting the successive phases of any mind which was always pressing forward, equally ready to learn and to unlearn either from its own thoughts or from those of others.
		It was, in fact, an account of the struggles between the patricians and plebeians, which now engrossed all the interest in my mind which I had previously felt in the mere wars and conquest of the Romans.
		It is also a study peculiarly adapted to an early stage in the education of philosophical students, since it does not presuppose the slow process of acquiring, by experience and reflection, valuable thoughts of their own.

	Charles Darwin's autobiography
		Whilst examining an old gravel-pit near Shrewsbury, a labourer told me that he had found in it a large worn tropical Volute shell, such as may be seen on the chimney-pieces of cottages; and as he would not sell the shell, I was convinced that he had really found it in the pit.
		He was an ardent disciple of Lavater, and was convinced that he could judge of a man's character by the outline of his features; and he doubted whether any one with my nose could possess sufficient energy and determination for the voyage.
		An unverified hypothesis is of little or no value; but if any one should hereafter be led to make observations by which some such hypothesis could be established, I shall have done good service, as an astonishing number of isolated facts can be thus connected together and rendered intelligible.

	Autobiography - Adoption Encyclopedia
		Often requested by adoption agencies, the autobiography is a written history of the adoptive parent, including educational background, career and a variety of other information; also called a profile or a RESUME.
		The agency staff may use the autobiography to help them evaluate the family in the HOME STUDY or family study process.

		Autobiography is not the story of a life; it is the recreation or the discovery of one.
		Often, of course, autobiography is merely a collection of well-rehearsed anecdotes; but, intelligently written, it is the revelation, to the reader and the writer, of the writer's conception of the life he or she has lived.
		That is why there need to be many biographies of a complex subject-at least one every generation-if an individual life is to hold meaning for readers born in a different time and place from the subject, if a life is to be usefully interpreted for an ever-changing audience.

	how to write an autobiography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		When writing an autobiography, you focus on three major things: who you are in life, what life means to you and what your outlook on the future is.
		The first thing you do when writing an autobiography is start off with a lot of facts about your life; for example, when and where you were born, where you live (city and state), where you go to school and who you live with.
		The conclusion is the last paragraph of your autobiography and an important one, too.

		He set forth a scheme for an Academy, which was taken up later and finally developed into the University of Pennsylvania; and he founded an "American Philosophical Society" for the purpose of enabling scientific men to communicate their discoveries to one another.
		In politics he proved very able both as an administrator and as a controversialist; but his record as an office-holder is stained by the use he made of his position to advance his relatives.
		On his return to America he played an honorable part in the Paxton affair, through which he lost his seat in the Assembly; but in 1764 he was again despatched to England as agent for the colony, this time to petition the King to resume the government from the hands of the proprietors.

		But, more than an autobiography, Zea Mexican is an extraordinary work of literature, much of it written in the expressive "nation language" of Jamaica and the Caribbean.

	85.03.03: Autobiography: Maya Angelou
		Introducing the concept of autobiography to students at this point in the discussion becomes much more complex because there is no set form or structure for autobiography and because there are no boundaries or limits to it as a literary genre.
		Autobiography which is about the self or the “autos” or the “I” can be as varied as the self is. People have fantasy lives that are just as much a part of their real lives as is the Kentucky Fried Chicken that they ate yesterday or the high school diplomas that they earned last week.
		When Maya, who believed in ghosts and haunts was asked by her grandmother to leave the light of the family circle around the warm pot-bellied stove to fetch a long-handled fork in the dark kitchen, the two minute trip of fear and panic in the dark took Maya through cemeteries, gravestones, and fl cats.

		This is an unusually cerebral and eloquently argued text that ufologists of all stripes should read and ponder before hastily attributing abduction reports to extraterrestrial intelligence or delusion.
		The result is an interesting collection of ancedotes and queries that meld close encounters with out-of-body experiences, apparant encounters with deceased loved ones, and half-remembered voyages to lands unknown.
		In "The Monkey and the Tetrahedron" Jinks accomplishes an articulate and intellectually satisfying synthesis of "paranormal" matters, skillfully addressing apparent artificial structures on the Moon and Mars, breaking developments in "cold fusion" research, and the UFO phenomenon.

		Beginning with slave narratives and concluding with modern autobiography, she deals with individual works as representing stages in a continuum and situates these works in the context of other writings by both fl and white writers.
		She examines "sass" as a mode of women's discourse and a weapon of self-defense, and she introduces the "outraged mother" as a parallel to the articulate hero archetype.
