narrator or storyteller and the mind of critical thinker.
• Creative nonfiction doesn’t only include facts but also elaborates,
interprets, and presents the work to the reader in an interesting
fashion. It is a compelling work of literature that combines facts
with facets of traditional genres.
ELEMENTS AND STYLES

• Molding real-life experiences into essays where language reflects


content.
• Writers use scenes and details to create immediacy in their
stories– the ability to bring subject matter to life.

• The author’s presence, either directly or indirectly narrating the


story, creates a distinctive voice that reveals his/her personality,
attitude, beliefs, and interests.
