Wikipedia    Biography (from the Greek words bios meaning "life", and graphein meaning "write") is a genre of literature and other forms of media such as film, based on the written accounts of individual lives. While a biography may focus on a subject of fiction or non-fiction!?, ..the term is usually in reference to non-fiction. Pat Shipman however, says "I think a good biographer has to write fiction some of the time to make apparent a significant event in someone's life." This is sometimes debated. As opposed to a profile or curriculum vitae, a biography develops a complex analysis of personality, highlighting different aspects of it and including intimate details of experiences. A biography is more than a list of impersonal facts like birth, education, work, relationships and death. It also delves into the emotions of experiencing such events.

END OF THE BEGINNING

This is only a small sampling of events in my traumatic history. There is much more to the story. As it unfolds, it is my hope that you will gain an appreciation for those of us who have been unjustly oppressed. It is also my hope that you would develop righteous indignation against all who wield authority or other power and use it to hurt innocent people.
