I have to write a biography, who should i write it on?

Answer 1

Would you like someone famous, or non-? Easier if they lived in interesting times or had a varied career, I guess. You could pick one obscure person who only ever wrote one journal during the American Civil war, that would be easier again! If you're going to write one, you're going to have to read several others about the same person first.

Lincoln or Lee or Grant? Tycho Brahe? Florence Nightingale? William Howard Russell? Victor Klemperer (his diary is very readable), Salam Pax, John Rabe, Tony Benn, Angela Merkel, Oprah, Nevil Shute, Grace Hopper, Maud Gonne, I don't know!

Answer 2

The biography of Mother Teresa is the best life to write because she was famous and powerful even when she worked for the poor throughout her life.

Answer 3

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (lets face it, the man was skinny but awesome)
Nelson Mandela (twenty years in prison and no revenge? A little passive aggression going on...)
or
Vladimir Lenin (just so that someone in the US would get it right)

The first two are stereotypical, the last one is interesting.
If you want a strong woman, theres always Rosa Luxemburg or Simone de Beauvoir.
Jean-Paul Sartre was a real character, interesting as hell.

Answer 4

Ron Jeremy

Answer 5

Josef Stalin

Answer 6

Yourself

Answer 7

Dick Cheney, one of the few true American heroes left in this world
