Defining Creative Non-fiction

In my class today (Creative Non-fiction) we were to partner up with another random classmate, and define creative non fiction. Once we agreed on our definition of creative non fiction we were to compare our commonalities and write a creative non fiction essay on them. These were the instructions of the assignment exactly as they were written on the board.

- Talk about yourselves
- Define creative non fiction
- Write an "essay"

This is what me and Hank Murry came up with.

Definition of creative non fiction: Taking factual information, and transforming that information into an interesting and engaging essay.

Here is our essay:

Hank Murry and Kelley Wyman have a variety of commonalities except that they were born and raised on opposite sides of the country. Whether Pacific or Atlantic they both share a love for the beach. While Hanks competitive days are behind him, Kelley is developing into a threat to breaststrokers across the nation. Both Hank and Kelley share an interest in Creative Fiction, but what really bonds the two together is their desire to go out and have a good time. While Hank has his fraternity brotherhood, Kelley shares a close brotherhood with the members of the Arizona Swimming and Diving team. Kelley's vehicle of choice is a 99' Honda Shadow motorcycle, while Hank occasionally cruises down the boardwalks of California on his Vespa Scooter. Kelley and Hank both left their luxurious beach lifestyles to come to the Wild West of America for an education.


The End.
