Answer:
Your question is a little unclear, but let me try to help.
The pacing depends on how much information you're trying to get in. If there's a lot of information, she'd want to have a faster paced essay so the reader stays interested and isn't reading for hours.
The level of detail needs to be high for any biographical essay because if you mess up history and your reader doesn't know any better, they're going to be misinformed and could possible corrupt facts. It's the misinformed historians that write the misinformed books, so there has to be lots of detail and it all has to be accurate.
Hope this helps!
