For your
final paper, apply the following points/questions (taken from your
assigned reading) to one of the Creative Non-Fiction essays that we read
for this unit. Explain where you see them in the essay you choose, and
explain how you feel they work (or don’t) in your chosen essay.
The lede—the opening gambit—has to lead somewhere,
introducing readers to the substance of the piece and hinting at its
purpose and what readers might learn if they continue forward.
Clarity should be as important to creative nonfiction writers as
story and theme. And yet, because of our familiarity with our own
stories, we often take for granted or overlook the need to give our
readers the information they need.
Even the most personal essay is usually full of substantive detail
about a subject that affects or concerns a writer and the people about
whom he or she is writing.
Events—coincidences, love stories, stories of loss—that
may be expected or feel clichéd in fiction can be respected when they
occur in real life.
The thing present in all successful nonfiction, is reflection. A
person could have lived the most interesting life and had experiences
completely unique to them, but without context—without reflection on how
this life of experiences affected the writer—the reader is left with
the feeling that the writer hasn’t learned anything, that the writer
hasn’t grown. We need to see how the writer has grown because a large
part of nonfiction’s appeal is the lessons it offers us, the models for
ways of living: that the writer can survive a difficult or strange
experience and learn from it.
Respond to all of these points; analyze how the essay you choose to focus on works in terms of these points, in your opinion.
Minimum Requirements:
Support your opinion/interpretation with solid evidence. Quote lines
from the actual essay; quote the material that you’ve been assigned in
addition to the essay. When citing material, use MLA format.
Make sure that you break your work into focused paragraphs, with one
main idea or topic each. For instance, you could write a paragraph
about each of the bulleted points above. Your final paper should not be
one long block of text.
Your finished paper should be 500-750 words, with
proper MLA citation (in-text citations and a works cited page for all
works used, including the essay you choose to focus on). Make sure that
you proofread the final version carefully so it’s as clean and clear as
it can be.
