Autobiography of Charles Darwin

An autobiography matters because it is a history of someone's life written by that person. In an autobiography you can see where the author is coming from because it's their life. They tell you firsthand instead of someone else telling you. They can share their true feelings and insight about it. A biography is the history of someone's life written by a different person. A biography is still worth reading, however it will not be able to express that person's exact feelings. An autobiography is worth more to read, because the author could go into more detail of how he or she was feeling and thinking. If it was a biography, the author could not describe in explicit detail how the person was feeling or was thinking.
