Nonfiction relies on all major forms of discourse: Descriptive Narrative Expository Persuasive

TONE Is very important in nonfiction. Is the author’s attitude toward his/her subject. Can be viewed as – Objective – subjective

OBJECTIVE Does not allow emotions or opinions to color the writing. – Hard news articles – Reference materials – Biography (most of the time)

SUBJECTIVE Does include emotions and opinions. Autobiography Memoirs Letters to the editor Essays (specific types)

Some new terms: Creative Nonfiction Literary Journalism Journalistic Fiction Look at your IR books. Do any of them fit one of these categories?
