From Up From Slavery By Booker T. Washington

From the time when I could remember anything, I had been called simply 'Booker.' Before going to school it had never occurred to me that it was needful or appropriate to have an additional name. When I heard the school-roll called, I noticed that all the children had at least two names, and some of them indulged in what seem to me that they had three. I was deep perplexity, because I knew that the teacher would demand f me at least two names, and I only had one. By the time the occasion came for the enrolling of my name, an idea occured to me which I thought would make me equal to the situation; and so when my teacher asked me what my full name was, I calmly told him 'Booker Washington,' as if I had been called by that name all my life; and by that name I have since been known. Later in my life I found my mother had given me the name of ' Booker Taliaferro' soon after I was born, but in some way that part of my name seemed to disappear and for a long while was forgotten, but as soon as I found out about it I revived it, and made my full name 'Booker Taliaferro Washington' I think there are not many men in our country who had the privilege of naming themselves in the way I did.

Question: What form of nonfiction is this most likely from?
My answer: A biography because Booker is saying the words "I" So he is talking about giving himself that name. So my answer is A biography.

Am i correct?

You're very welcome, SunShines.

Thank you Ms. Sue!

i agree

I agree.

sorry if I misspelled some words..

Yes, you are correct. The passage provided is from the autobiography "Up From Slavery" by Booker T. Washington. Autobiography is a form of nonfiction where the author tells the story of their own life.

And regarding the question about the author's feelings, based on the passage, it can be inferred that Booker T. Washington is proud of the decision he made in his youth to name himself 'Booker Washington.' This can be observed from the statement, "I calmly told him 'Booker Washington,' as if I had been called by that name all my life." It indicates that he made a deliberate choice and was confident in presenting himself with that name.
