English writers continued to use the French spelling of the word until in 1728 the English spelling "saloon" was used in describing the reception hall of great country houses.
"Salon" continued to be used in more sophisticated literary works in English (since French was considered a more cultured language by the English upper classes) until in the 19th century it came to signify the reception rooms and galleries in a rich person's home, the same as the 18th and 19th century French usage of the word. In literature, the word salon developed a more specific meaning as the room in a great house over which the "lady of the house" presided at gatherings of friends. From about 1815 (after the Napoleonic Wars) the "salon" became a literary cultural institution in which its main significance was "a room in a wealthy lady's home where discussions of art, music, literature and other cultural affairs were held."
The word "saloon" first appeared in American usage in 1841 as a "place where intoxicating liquor is sold and consumed." In the 1880's, the "saloon" was a rather disreputable meeting place where rough and definitely uncultured men met and talked about politics, war, sports and women. Mark Twain, Jack London and other realist writers popularized the "saloon".
Thus, in English, "salon" is usually associated with very high cultural connotations and "saloon" is definitely a low-culture establishment.
Questions:
9.What did the word "salon" originally refer to?

Telling Tales about People
One of the most common types of nonfiction, and one that many people enjoy reading, is stories about people&39;s lives. These stores fall into three general categories: autobiography, memoir,and biography.
An autobiography is the story of a person&39;s life written by himself or herself. Often it begins with the person&39;s earliest recollections and ends in the present. Autobiography writers may not be entirely objective in the way they present themselves. However, they offer the reader a good look at the way they are and what makes them that way. &39;People as diverse as Benjamin Franklin and Helen Keller have written autobiographies. Other writers, such as James Joyce, have written thinly fictionalized accounts of their lives. These are not autobiographies, but they are very close to it.
Memoirs, strictly speaking, are autobiographical accounts that focus as much on the events of the times as on the life of the author. Memoir writers typically use these events as backdrops for their lives. They describe them in detail and discuss their importance. Recently, though, the term memoir seems to be becoming interchangeable with autobiography. A memoir nowadays may or may not deal with the outside world.
Biographies are factual accounts of someone else&39;s life. In many senses, these may be the hardest of the three types to write. Autobiography writers know the events they write about because they lived them. But biography writers have to gather information from as many different sources as possible. Then they have to decide which facts to include. Their goal is to present a balanced picture of a person, not one that is overly positive or too critical. A fair, well-presented biography may take years to research and write.

A.the characteristics of autobiographies, memoirs, and biographies
