Who has written more than one autobiography?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would have to say that it takes one hell of an ego to feel like you need to write more than 1 autobiography. That being said, the only person I know of who has done this is President Barack Obama.

Did Barack Obama say if it ever comes down to it I will side with the Muslims?

The actual quote from the book is from page 261 and is as follows: "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." Read the last sentence in the context of the paragraph. He is just saying that he will be with the people who have come to this country, at a crucial time when they need support.

What is a good title for a book about myself?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Only you can come up with a good name! Book Titles come from the story, not from some anonymous person on the internet! Titles are not as important as some writers think, also - your title might change many times between your first write and your final draft!

Think about your story - what is going on and who are the people involved?

How are Biographies and autobiographies arranged on library shelves?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

[The first answer was deleted as it was completely irrelevant to what the question was asking.]

Biographies are arranged to the biographical subject's last name. Remember, we are not sorting it according to the author's last name. The subject is the person who the book is about.

For example, these would be the order of biographies. I could use actual books, but I want you to get the idea:

Adams, John

Adams, John Quincy

Franklin, Benjamin

Gandhi, Mohandas K.

Herzl, Theodore

Hitler, Adolf

Jackson, Andrew

Jefferson, Thomas

King, Jr. Martin Luther

Luther, Martin

Roosevelt, Franklin Delano

Roosevelt, Theodore

Shakespeare, William

Washington, George

Do you get the idea? I hope you did. If you need any further help, please ask a follow-up question. Thank you.
