Based on the readings, creative non-fiction is a factual story written in a way that will grab the reader's attention. Creative non-fiction writers are very detailed with regards to who the story is about, where the story is taking place, giving the purpose as to why they are writing the story. As I was reading the articles, I felt as if I was actually the person driving in the middle of nowhere, running away from the lunatic that was trying to kill me! I felt as if I was the Indian boy who loved to read just about anything in hopes that I could break the stereotype and "save my life". I felt like the woman writing in her notebook, looking back and reminiscing on the past quotes and entries, trying to figure out why I put them there in the first place!
These writers put me (the reader) in their shoes by showing me, through their words, the actions taking place.

You have a start here. I think making a bullet-point list is a good idea. Hopefully today's discussion in class will help you add to this and deepen your ideas about what exactly is implied in the points you have. Did you notice these features in the assigned readings?
