A biography is a detailed account of an event that was actually lived and history is a retelling of an event that has already passed. A biography is actually experienced as in the right now moment and history was experienced in the past or by someone's memory
 
Waldo Emerson to me? I need to write an analysis for this quote and am having trouble putting my explanation into words. Any help is appreciated! :)
