Autobiography’s structure.

We will consider this four elements in order to write your autobiography.

1: Childhood.

Here you convey the early influences, including the environment you grew up in and the significant people and events.

2: Early adulthood.

Here you describe the aspirations and challenges you faced early on, how you took advantage of opportunities, setbacks, etc. 

3: Peak 

Here you describe the major turning point in your life. It may be how you made your best achievement.

4: Today’s situation.

It's a good idea to decide on two things before you start...

1. Your greatest achievement in life.

2. The ultimate meaning of your life. 

Knowing these, you can then work backwards, identifying the significant events that led up to these two.

Imperatives

Uses:

Reason	Example
to give advice or suggestions	Exercise three times a week. Don’t eat too much pepper.
to give directions	Turn left at the drugstore and walk five blocks.
to give instructions	Cut the celeries into small pieces and fry in oil. Save your file and put it in a new folder.
to give orders or commands	Be quiet! Do your work!
to give warnings	Be careful! Don’t drive after drinking.
to make a polite request	Please turn on the light, Stella. Open the window please, Becky.
to offer an informal invitation	Bring a friend to the meeting if you like. Join us for breakfast, Hellen!

The subject of these sentences (you) is not written or spoken. It is the same for singular and plural.

(You) turn right at the corner and drive two kilometers.

John and Paul, stand up please.

Negative form;

“Do not + simple verb...” or “Don’t + simple verb...”

Do not run across the street, kids.

Don’t smoke in the church please.

DON’T use the imperative in formal situations with an employer or a teacher. The imperative is too direct.

Come to dinner Mrs. Mcain.  (It is not appropriated to say it in this way.  

Would you like to join us at dinner, Mrs. Mcain? (This is polite).

Freytag's analysis.

According to the german novelist Gustav Freytag in 1863, a drama is divided into five parts or acts, structure that we call, the dramatic arc.  

It’s parts are: exposition (introduction), rising action, climax, falling action, and dénouement (resolution).

Exposition or introduction.

The exposition is the part of a story that gives the background of it and presents the characters and the setting as well.

The rising action.

It’s everything that happens in the story that set you infront of the point of interest. In other words: a series of events that set you in the most important part of the story.

Climax.

It’s the main part of the story where the expected things to do actually happens, and it’s the beginning of the falling action if it exists and / or the resolution.

Falling action.

It’s what start happening right after climax, and it’s the beginning of the resolution.

Dénouement / resolution.

In this part of the story, everything comes to normality in terms of the characters. The problems are solved, the situations that were a problem, find a solution and direct the story into the final scene and closes the story.
