Autobiographies

In literature we read and write about things that make us who we are. Our experiences are a large portion of what we write about, it's how we learn and share knowledge. People write autobiographies to tell people about their life and all of their individual experiences through writing. In many situations the writer is aiming to inspire or influence sir audience. In some cases an autobiography may be written to pass on a certain belief or idea, or simply to make people aware of what they have done over time. Not one person has the same life experiences to share.

A Bit About Me

My family is small but my ancestors go back along time ago. It's family closely knit with relatives all over the states. I am a natural born citizen of the United States and I am German, Norwegian, Sweedish and Scandanavian. My mom's great grandparents came to the U.S. from Norway through Ellis Island in the late 1800's. They settled in Black River Falls WI and later on came to Milwaukee. My grandmas grandparents came to West Allis from Germany and my dads grandparents came to Wisconsin from Sweden. Most of my family believes in the Lutheran religion. We celebrate holidays just like the average American family. Sharing presents and putting up a tree for Christmas. We also eat traditional American meals, a variety of different things included.
