What is the difference between a diary and autobiography?

Answer 1

The difference between a diary and a journal is that a diary is there for you to write down what happened during the day and keep a record of stuff. A journal is to write your own personal feelings in, and things that happened, and how they made you feel. It's not the other way round...

Answer 2

A diary is a personal journal or record of experiences and observations usually written on a daily basis. On the other hand, travelogue is a film or illustrated lecture on travelling.

Answer 3

A diary is written day by day, capturing the thoughts and feelings of the author immediately after events in their lives. A diary is about the immediate thoughts and experiences going on right at the time. A person writing about the events that occurred today would be writing their diary.

An autobiography is written after the fact, reflecting back on significant events from the author's life. The author may remember what they felt or thought at the time for some events, but mostly an autobiography is being drawn from distant memories. An older person writing about events that occurred when they were young would be writing their autobiography.

Answer 4

A diary is a daily record of personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings written by the author themselves, typically in a chronological order. It is usually meant for private use and may not be intended for publication. An autobiography, on the other hand, is a comprehensive and structured account of one's own life, typically covering major events, achievements, and personal insights. Autobiographies are usually written with the intention of sharing one's life story with a wider audience.
