Come evito oggi? sembra tornando a carissimo amico, cio a come si scrive un saggio raccogliendo dalla rete pagine
come questa: http://www.members.tripod.com/~lklivingston/essay/body.html.
Ma dovrei capire che cosa sono i body paragraph rispetto ai support paragraph. E divago come sempre: le pagine di
questo sito sono esemplari, il testo breve e bene scandito.
la home. Ma sospendo per cercare come si scriva una biografia e trovo how to write a biography

Biography
How to Write an Interesting Biography

A biography is defined come la descrizione scritta della serie di eventi che costituiscono la vita di una persona.

Yikes, that sounds a little dry, doesn't it? Nonetheless, while researching the subject of your biography, vorrai
raccogliere tutti I fatti principali dellesperienza del soggetto.

Ecco i fatti principali:

Data e luogo di nascita


Informazioni sulla famiglia
I suoi talenti e le sue conquieste nella vita
Gli eventi principali
Effetti e impatto sulla societ, significato storico

Pur se necessari al progetto i fatti nudi e crudi non bastano per scrivere una biografia di qualit. Trovati i fatti occorre
andare un po pi in profondit.
You will choose your person because you think he or she is interesting, so you certainly dont want to burden your
paper with an inventory of boring facts. The last thing you want to do is bore your reader. Your goal is to impress
her/him.

non annoiare il lettore ma coinvolgerlo

parti con una trovata che catturi il lettore.

parti con una frase interessante, un piccolo aneddoto o un evento di grande presa

evita Tizio Caio nato a X nel Ixxx, piuttosto

Sala piena, giuria in balconata, la luce dei candelabri si attenua fino a sparire e per qualche secondo un faretto illumina
il busto ecc.

cerca in internet (es. la biografia di Nipper) e annota sempre gli indirizzi dei siti

Fai in modo che linizio sia motivante ma anche di rilievo, le frasi suoneranno gratuite se non portano a nulla, perci le
due successive dovranno riguardare il tema o il messaggio della biografia.

It was a tragic end to a life that had so deeply affected the course of history in the United States. Meriwether Lewis, a
driven and often tormented soul, led an expedition of discovery that expanded a young nations economic potential,
increased its scientific understanding, and enhanced its worldwide reputation.

dopo un avvio che colpisce continua il flusso

cerca i particolari sulluomo e le sue opere e inseriscili nella trama del racconto

Examples of interesting details:


Some people believed that Lewis and Clark would encounter elephants in the western wilderness, having misunderstood
the wooly mammoth bones discovered in the United States.
The expedition resulted in the discovery and description of 122 new animal species and subspecies.
Lewis was a hypochondriac.
His death is still an unsolved mystery, although it was ruled a suicide.

1
riempi il testo di materiale che dia spessore alla personalit del soggetto

nel tuo caso chiediti quali tratti o eventi lhanno motivato a imbarcarsi in unimpresa cos grande

Domande cruciali:

C qualcosa nellinfanzia che ha plasmato la sua personalit?

Cera un tratto della personalit che ne ha favorito il successo?

Quali aggettivi useresti per descriverlo?

Quali sono stati i punti di svolta della sua vita?

Qual stato e qual il suo impatto sulla storia?

usa frasi e parole di passaggio per legare i paragrafi e fare in modo che il testo scorra

rielabora e ricomponi le frasi per migliorare il testo

nellultimo paragrafo fai una sintesi dei punti principali e riafferma lidea principale sul tema citando i punti
principali, rinomina la persona su cui scrivi ma non ripetere gli esmpi

continuo con altri siti cercando di rassicurarmi

How to Write a Biography

Una biografia il racconto di una vita. Pu esaurirsi in poche frasi o riempire uno o due libri.

Le biografie molto brevi dicono solo fatti salienti.


Le altre includono le informazioni di base con molti particolari e li compongono in un buon racconto.

Le biografie analizzano e interpretano i fatti della vita di qualcuno. Cercano collegamenti, spiegano il significato di
eventi inattesi o di misteri e portano argomenti sul significato dei traguardi e delle attivit. Di solito riguardano persone
famose o malvage, ma la biografia di una persona qualunque pu dirci molto su un particolare luogo o periodo.Di solito
riguardano figure storiche ma possono riguardare persone viventi.

Molte sono scritte in ordine cronologico. Alcuni raggruppano periodi di tempo intorno a un tema (es. I primi ostacoli
o ambizione e conquist). Altri si concentrano su argomento o risultati specifici.

I biografi usano fonti primarie e secondarie:

Fonti primarie: lettere, diari o articoli di giornali.


Fonti secondarie: altre biografie o storie sul soggetto.

Per scrivere una biografia:

1. Scegli una persona che ti interessi

Maurizio Pollini

2. Cerca i fatti principali della sua vita iniziando da enciclopedie e almanacchi

Libri a partire da Rattalino, Da Clementi a Pollini, archivi in rete di New York Times, The Independent, The Guardian
ecc. e Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica ecc., forum, blog ecc.
Pensa a che cosaltro vorresti sapere della persona e quali parti della sua vita preferiresti racocntare; tra le possibili
domande:

Che cosa lo rende speciale o interessante?

several Grammy awards)? Or, if this person is not a celebrity, explain why he/she is special to you.What do you
