Reflection 1/29/13



For me it’s ok to twist the truth just a little in a non-fiction book. The reason I say this is because the word “fiction”.  Yes it has to have some facts or else there’s no point in the difference. If they’re small changes that’s fine real life needs a push to be eye grabbing for anyone to care to read about it. For example a conversation here or there that never happened to move the plot along is ok
                Some People say otherwise, they say that for it to be labeled “non-fiction” that it has to be 100% TRUE. But where is the fun? Who wants to read day to day life? I understand if it’s a war story or a big accomplishment or somebodies epic journey to somewhere magnificent.  But if it’s just about some celebrity it’s not worth my time or anyone else’s. I think non-fiction is one of the hardest genres to write considering it has to actually happen. Most of the non-fiction I read is mainly dealing with social issues and how they impact the community and the lives of others.   
                So I believe its ok to make up something’s  in order to benefit the story.
