Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage
The biographer has to dance between two shaky positions with respect to the subject . Too c
lose a relation, and the writer may be objectivity. Not close enough, and the writer may lack the sympathy necessary to any effort to portray a mind, a soul-the quality of life. Who should write the biography of a family, for example Because of their closeness to the subject, family members may have special information, but by the same token, they may not have the distance that would allow them to be fair. Similarly, a king’ s servant might not be the best one to write a biography of that king. But a foreigner might not have the knowledge and sympathy necessary to write the king’ s biography-not for a readership from within the kingdom, at any rate.
There is no ideal position for such a task. The biographer has to work with the position he or she has in the world, adjusting that position as necessary to deal with the subject. Every position has strengths and weaknesses to thrive, a writer must try to become aware of these, evaluate them in terms of the subject, and select a position accordingly.
When their subjects are heroes or&n
bsp;famous figures, biographies often reveal a democratic motive they attempt to show that their subjects are only human, no better than anyone else. Other biographies are meant to change us, to invite us to become better than we are. The biographies of Jesus found in the Bible are in this class.
Biographers may claim that their account is the authentic one. In advancing this claim, they are helped if the biography is authorized by the subject, this presumably allows the biographer special access to private information. Unauthorized biographies also have their appeal, however, since they can suggest an independence of mind in the biographer. In book promotions, the unauthorized characterisation usually suggests the prospect of juicy gossip that the subject had hoped to suppress. A subject might have several biographies, even several authentic ones. We sense intuitively that no one is in a position to tell the story of a life, perhaps not even the subject, and this has been proved by .the history of biography.
