BIOGRAPHY PART 3
Biographical text is a text that contains the story of a character in his life. This text was written by someone so that the character can be imitated by many people. Writing a character's life story includes the problems that have been faced as well as the strengths of the character that can inspire. Similar to biographies, there are also autobiographical texts. An autobiography contains the life story of a character. However, the difference lies in the author. Biography is written by someone else, while autobiography is written by the person concerned. A Biography Text generally uses the specific names of the people involved in a biography which is then written in the past tense. A Biography text can also use words which are then related to time. Biographies generally describe events, so use more action verbs.
A Biography Text itself consists of three parts:
1. Orientation
Orientation provides the reader with background information on why the biography was written. The opening paragraph should answer the questions: who, what, where, when, and how. Usually contains narrated biodata such as full name and place and date of birth. Some general information can also be presented in this section as an introduction to the characters.
2. Events At the eventa stage is the stage of an event or events experienced by the character. Contains an explanation of a story in the form of problem solving, other processes, and various events that have been experienced by the character to lead him to a success. The events themselves are usually told in chronological order which refers to a certain time.
3. Re-Orientation (Closing) This section contains the author's views on the characters told. Reorientation is optional so that the author can give his personal view of the characters being told. Reorientation also consists of a type of conclusion with comments about contributions which are then summarized in an interesting conclusion or storyline.
