What is a good biography of a famous American that you would recommend?

Sunday, June 14th, 2009
Safetyboat asked:


I need to read a biography of a famous American for a high school History class. The person needs to be an influential and prominent leader, not a pop star. I’d like a book thats a relatively quick and easy read but still acceptable for an AP class. If anyone can recommend one that I could buy at Border’s or something that would be great
Also thanks for the feedback but if you could provide a book that I could buy, not just the name of a person, that would be great

I want to write a biography on a person in history, except I want to write it as that person was telling the story. How do I go about this? Where are good places to look for information?

The person is Alexei Romanov, by the way.

Aria . asked:


What is the best way to write a killer biography without going on and on? I have to send in a biography for a p[project, and I want to make a really good first impression of myself. But the thing is, I feel like if I go on and on about myself, they’ll get bored. So basically what i’m trying to ask is, how can I get the message across without seeming like a drag?

How can I start my biography of my friend?

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009
Goddess Love asked:


In class, we were partnered up with a random person. We interview each other and then we must write a biography of your partner.

So, should I just do a factfile? And then add all those lifetime achievements and important things? I don’t know how to set it out. I did biographies of famous people but since my friend doesn’t do anything achievable like famous people (l0lx), I have no idea how to write it.

It would be appreciated if you tell me how to lay it out to have good grades. Teacher grade every single homework, out of 10. So, please help me.

I already got all the informations about my partner.

I need either an autobiography or biography about a figure from India, be it a leader, philosopher, etc. (BONUS POINTS IF ITS NOT GANDHI). It also should be under 200 pages. Unusual criteria but it would be an enormous help, thanks.
