What is a good opening sentance for a biography?

Question

My teacher wants all of her students to tell her about there life, but I don't want to start with "Hi my name is" or "I was born"..... I want something unique.... any suggestions?

Answer 1

I'm a nut so I would open with a famous line, but twist is like...My name is NOT Ishmael. ( from Moby d**k) Or  it was the best of times, it was the worst of times (from A tale of Two Cities )for a girl having to write this.

Play it up, and have fun.

Answer 2

Your in luck cuz I'm a writer. I'll give you some ways to spice up your autobiography.

In the life of <Insert name here> is full of <Insert descriptive word here>!

<Insert Name Here> Must go through madness everyday! <Insert details here>

<Insert name here> is amazing at <Insert talent here>

However, <Insert name here> Isn't good at <Insert details here>

,

<Write your own details here>

And that's the amazing life of <Insert name here>!

Answer 3

Think of one word that would grab everyones attention, that relates to your life.  for example, for me I would use roller coaster and say, "My life is a roller coaster."  Maybe not the best statement, but you get what I mean?  Try and think of something that is unique about your life and go from there!
