Assignment_2
Now it is time to show both your creativity and your newly learned expertise about creative nonfiction.
Create a brief, original story about a true, nonfiction, out of the ordinary experience and use a creative format to convey it to your audience.
- Think about “The Man on the Tracks,” https://www.creativenonfiction.org/online-reading/man-tracks. and how that author took a shocking experience and wrote a creative piece to express the tale.
- This experience does not have to have a supernatural connection, but if you have a paranormal tale to tell, then feel free to use it.
