Here's why:
* Personal Experience: Autobiographies are written by the author about their own life. They focus on their experiences, thoughts, and feelings.
* Development: The narrative often traces the author's journey through time, showing how they have grown, changed, and developed as a person.
* Narrative Techniques: Autobiographies utilize various narrative techniques like flashbacks, stream of consciousness, and reflection to tell their story in a compelling way.
While other genres like memoirs, personal essays, and even some fiction might also use similar elements, autobiography is the genre specifically dedicated to the recounting of a person's life in a narrative form.
