REFLECTIVE SUMMARY M3 LA3

1. In this activity I have learnt about Biography.

a. The social function of biography provides details regarding the life of a
person or a thing in entertaining but informative manner. By the end of a
biography, readers feel like they are well-acquainted with the subject.
b. The generic structure of biographyis: Orientation , Events, Re-orientation .
 Orientation is at the opening paragraph. It gives the readers the
background information of the person.
 Events it’s tells how the person gets the success, the solution of the
problems that she/he has in chronological order.
 Re-orientation is the conclusion or the comment that tells about the
achievement or the contribution of the person.
c. The significant lexico-grammatical features of biography are:
 Simple past tense
 Temporal sequence and temporal conjunction
 Specific participants
 Action verbs
 Third person
d. The key future of Biography are An account or detailed description about
the life of a person. Entails basic facts, such as childhood, education,
career, relationships, family, and death. Provides a life story of a subject,
highlighting different aspects of his of her life. Narrates the life story of a
person, as written by another person or writer. Tells about the
achievement or the contribution of the person. A literary genre that
portrays the experiences of all events occurring in the life of a person,
mostly in a chronological order often non-fictional, but many biographers
also use novel-like format, because a story line would be more
entertaining with the inclusion of strong exposition, rising conflict, and then
climax.
