<p>So i decided to write about the future and I was wonering whether I should give names to the imagery people in my story: like my future supposed business partner, kids, wife and etc. I feel like I should as the name adds to their existence and perhaps makes the story more personal and in the end realistic, but I m open to opinions</p>
<p>hahhaha i put in names, but then i felt really stupid because i made up those names…</p>
<p>did you write it yet?</p>
<p>yeah just patching things up and this conflict came up</p>
<p>i guess i kind of felt stupid using actual names haha</p>
<p>Personally I wouldn’t. Maybe if you have to in dialogue mention it once or twice. But the reason I wouldn’t is because it attaches some focus and emphasis on other characters when mostly you want the autobiography to be about you. But it depends on how big of a role they play in your paper of course.</p>
<p>well theoretically they are my future family members so i guess that qualifies them to be significant to my story</p>
<p>Well I had a sentence that included “my beautiful wife, Ilyana” or something like that, but it wasn’t the center of my story or anything.</p>
<p>I named my “imagery” characters - but I had dialogue – I wouldn’t recommend if you have do not have dialogue…</p>
<p>My essay also took place in the future, and although there were other characters mentioned in my essay, I only gave one of them a name, since this individual was siginificant to the central idea of my story. There was also some brief dialogue between us.</p>
<p>Is mostly everyone doing more realistic autobiographies as opposed to one’s that are a little wacky? I’m still working on mine, and I don’t know if it’s too much of a risk making it a little out there.</p>
<p>Mine’s me sitting in a waiting room about to be interviewed for a job.</p>
