It is important for us to learn history from different perspectives such as biographies and autobiographies because it helps us understand and learn from what happened in history. Autobiographies are written by the person who experienced the events and tell us how they perceived history and their opinion of how everything happened. While biographies are written by someone other than the person who experienced the events and tell us a more objective point of view of history. When we combine the knowledge of both autobiographies and biographies we are able to understand what happened in history.
