book about your own life

A book or long piece of writing in which a person writes the story of their own life.

نمط الاستخدام: an autobiography of [someone]
غلطة شائعة:
Learners often confuse "autobiography" with "biography". An *autobiography* is written by the person about their own life, while a *biography* is written by another person. Learners may also mix up "autobiography" and "memoir"; a memoir usually focuses on part of a life or on special experiences, not necessarily the whole life story.
مرادفات
memoir (Often focuses on certain periods, themes, or experiences in a life, instead of telling the full life story from beginning to end.) | life story (More general and informal; can be spoken or written and is not necessarily a book.)
أضداد
biography (A written account of a person's life by someone else, not by the person themself.)

life story in other media

A story in a film, book, or other art that is very close to the real life of the person who made it, so it is like their own life story.

نمط الاستخدام: [something] is almost an autobiography
غلطة شائعة:

مرادفات
self-portrait (Often used for visual art; suggests a picture of the self, sometimes used figuratively for works that reveal a lot about the creator's life or character.)
أضداد
pure fiction (Describes a work that is completely invented and not based on the creator's real life.)
