342 Words2 Pages

In my creative nonfiction paper my use of reporting, exaggerating/embellishing, and invention was very strong. I used reporting to tell the readers what exactly happened during the event.

Another example is, "she made us move to a new house far away from my best friends and then she was making me go to another school." These are good examples of how my use of reporting was very strong, because these examples show what exactly happened during my experience.

Merely six miles south of Wrigley Field, we boarded the CTA purple line el train, along with clusters and clusters of Chicago Cubs fans also getting on each and every rail car from who knows where.
