Third person?
Third person omniscient?

biography is a damn regroup of important actions and stuff. its a person that could even not know the biographed and write his biography. like leonard de vinci which biography is still getting written.

A biography is anything but 1st person, so yeah, it's second or third person.

A biography is book about a particular person which is written by other people. An autobiography is a book written by the actual person.
This post will actually appear at the bottom of this page.
fuck yuo idiote
Why the fuck are you doing a biography of John Lenon? How do the beetles have any real historical significance?
I think it's third person omniscient...
I think.
Did John Lennon write the book about John Lennon or did someone else?
If John Lennon wrote the book about John Lennon it's in first person, if he didn't, well, it's in third person.

An autobiography is a biography written by the actual person.
Third person omniscient would be if the writer of the biography knew all of the details of John Lennon's life (thoughts,emotions, etc.) at any given time. Third person view is a narrative style (the writer is the narrator) (it is written from the perspective of a third person), so thoughts and emotions are not always known. Autobiographies are first person.
.....There was a hole. *sig by LimitedMortality*
It is third person buddy. Knowing if it is omniscient is unknown to us but I am strongly guessing it is not.
Does it have words like 'I'?
Or does it have words like 'he'.
That's really all that matters.
