But just like building a monument for a great man, we will not care about the stone but how the constructor makes full use of these stones to build the monument. That is to say, we do not care about the materials of the writing but how the author creates the images. This is something about the profundity of the biographical works. To show the profundity in the literature works is to show the unique character of the works. Biographers build a bridge between biographees and readers, if they want to attract readers and help them to learn something about the biographee, when they create their works, they should emphasize using multiple artistic means to shape the biographee’s image.
Biographers should know how to place the different wonderful parts of biographee’s life in his books in order to draw the reader’s appetite of reading. But first of all, biographers should decide whose biography they will write. Learn enough about the person to make a wise choice. They will be spending a good deal of time on this person, so his or her life better be pretty intriguing. What’s more, the art of language in creation is also very important to show the artistic affection on biographical works. The language of the works embraces different literal and deep meaning, the sentences, and the words all just as the important means to show the stories of biographee, to make the historic events reappear in the books, to show the biographer’s feeling and thought. Only when a biographer knows how to control the artistic character of literature language can he express himself correctly and successfully and make himself understood fully. All the thoughts and ideas of the author will be turned into words on the papers finally. Only when the author has the power to control what he want to express in his books, can he leads us to enjoy the beauty of literature potential of words expression. They use many different sentence patterns and focus on the character of the language that spoken by biograhees, this is a useful way to catch the special personality of the biographee and help the readers understand the figures who he studies in the book. Ultimately, this helps readers to take full advantage of biographical literature value of education.
4. 3 The aspect of the spiritual value
Spiritual value is typically not produced by the operations of a method, a science, a discipline, or a profession. It is produced by the individual brush strokes of unprofessional prophets and demiurges. You cannot, for example, find spiritual value in a text when you are viewing it as the product of a mechanism of cultural production. To view a work in this way gives understanding but not hope, knowledge but not self-transformation[15]. While reading the literature works, your aim is not to get some methods or knowledge, you want that your heart or the value of life can be affected by the literature works. Only in this way can you simultaneously be inspired by a work and know about it. Here we can get the idea that if the reader wants to get something from the works, the works should be a great one and can make the readers get stimulated.
If any biographical writer wants to build a bridge for readers going into the heart of biographee and help them have the spiritual communication with biographees, writers can not just repeat the stuff of biographee’s life, they should know how to make his book conquer the hearts of readers.
The difference between biographical and novel creations is that biography is the creation of human who is the real human being actually existed in this world. Therefore, the man’s experiences are true, all the stuff about him cannot be changed. That means all the biographical writing stuff about one man is the same, but we can find that there are 57 different kinds of biography of Dickens and there are 225 of Samuel Johnson. Why there are so many different kinds of the same person? Every author observes and describes the biographee from different point of view. Biographer creates the biography of a person with his own emotion and judgment; this is an important element of biographical creations. We see the biographee from the point of view of the biographer. The same great man becomes different in different biographies written by different authors. Here, we can understand that biography is not only a book about the biographer’s views and thought. A good biography brings the person to life, makes us care about what she or he did with time and opportunity. A good story offers drama, excitement, human interest, passion and suspense. Tell this person's story so your audience will be at the edge of their seats wanting to learn more. Only readers know more about what the author thinks about the biographee, they get more about the same person. From this point of view, we know that biographical works have the literature art just because biography is full of the author’s view not just the stuff of what biographee did or said. This process of creating is a process of showing the literature art. Readers go into the spiritual world of biography with the help of biographer’s feeling towards the man he writes about. So we can say that how much the readers gain from the spiritual world of biographee will probably depend a great deal on how much the biographer understands the spiritual world of biographee. If he shows what he wants to express correctly, people can go into the biographee’s world deeply and understand it fully. Readers have demonstrated an insistent need both to record and interpret the lives of real people. They want to celebrate their achievements, to explore their personalities and then they aim to know their lives better. A successful biography can help readers make it. The success of biographical works depends on biographer’s artistic creation skills. They should be an artist who has the wits to show a whole picture of biographee’s life in front of us.
