Status Updates From Becoming Kareem: Growing Up...

Genre: I think the genre of my book is a biography. The author of the book is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the book is talking about him and the evidence of this is that he uses the first person. A quote from my book is on page 154, " I gave the teachers what they wanted, and in return I got what I wanted: straight As." This shows that it's first person and a biography because it has his life and pronouns shows evidence.
