Or walk with Kings nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the Erath and everything that’s in it,
And-which is more –you’ll be a Man, my son!”

What is It
Man is gifted with a powerful mind. Our mind has the ability to create and
construct a story based on experience and reality. Thus, these experiences are best
depicted and manifested through the creative use of language which gives birth to
one interesting form of literature which is nonfiction.
Literary Elements
Creative nonfiction is the literature of fact. Yet, the creative nonfiction writer
utilizes many of the literary elements of fiction writing.
The following is a list of the most common literary devices that writers
incorporate into their nonfiction writing.
➢ Storytelling/narration
The writer needs to be able to tell his/her story. A good story includes
an inciting incident, a goal, challenges and obstacles, a turning point, and
resolution of the story.
➢ Character
The nonfiction piece often requires a main character. Example, if a
writer is creating his/her memoir, then the writer is the central character.
14
➢ Figurative language
The writer often uses simile and metaphor to create an interesting piece
of creative nonfiction.
➢ Imagery
The writer constructs “word pictures” using sensory language. Imagery
can be figurative or literal.
➢ Point of View
refers to who is telling or narrating a story
➢ Dialogue
These are the conversations spoken between people. It is an important
component of creative nonfiction.
➢ Theme
There is a central idea that is weaved through the essay or work. Often,
the theme reveals a universal truth.
This morning,
after the faint scent
of sea grasses
awakened me,
I followed
the setting moon
in the reef flats
in front of my
bamboo cottage
I nearly stepped on
a parrotfish
that was caught
by the low tide.
It was big
as my slipper
I picked
its slimy body
and returned it
to the sea.
In its excitement
it forgot to
thank me.
15
away from me
it dived
towards the direction
of the horizon
where the moon
was hiding.
