Introductory Message
For the Facilitator:
We trust that this Creative Nonfiction Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)
Module on the Principles and Techniques of Creative Nonfiction, shall help you
2.0
to engage your learner in the most enriching and fun ways. The collaborative
SI
ON
work put in by the development team has ensured that each activity does not
only facilitate acquisition of 21st Century skills but shall also take into
ER
consideration the circumstances, needs and well-being of each learner,
-V
especially at this time of anguish and uncertainty. Rest assured, that we have
LE
S
not compromised learning through this modality but that all essential
DU
competencies are covered; the same way they will be tackled substantially in
MO
succeeding modules.
ON
For the Learner:
AT
I
Real-life stories could be as fascinating as the fairy tales and nursery
rhymes from your childhood or the online and printed novels you read in the
NE
R
present. The characters, the setting and the action may even be more
GE
interesting if you know how to captivate your readers through escalating the
thrill in a perspective that engages them; painting colorful images with
1S
T
metaphors or imagery as in poetry; or setting the mood and anticipation as in
the dialogues in drama. The challenge is, even while integrating these
elements and devices, how you do not deviate from events as they happen in
reality. As you are expected to breathe life to your experiences by using literary
elements and devices, Module 2 shall deal with analyzing how principles and
techniques in creative nonfiction are exemplified in actual texts.

LET’S TAKE A Blast From the Past!
You might have recalled in our study of fiction and drama that characters may
be round or flat; dynamic or static. In creative nonfiction, characters may most likely
be more complex, depending on their circumstance or state of mind. Their feelings,
perspective or mood may change as influenced by norms, personal experience and
beliefs.

WHAT IS IT
⚫
Characterization refers to how the writer develops or create mental images of
characters for his audience.
⚫
The two (2) approaches to characterization are:
1. Direct Characterization - the writer tells his audience what he/she wants them to
2.0
know about the character through outright description by the writer, by another
character’s description or by the character himself.
SI
ON
2. Indirect Characterization - the writer shows his audience things about the character
to help them understand the character's personality, motives or effect on other
⚫
ER
characters
Five Methods of Characterization (PAIRS)
-V
1. Physical description - the character's physical appearance is described: tall, thin,
S
fat, pretty, color of hair, way of dressing, etc. stylish, expensive clothing?
LE
2. Action/attitude/behavior - the character’s behavior and attitude: good, bad,
DU
generous, greedy, etc.; focus on a character’s idiosyncrasies, unique or distinct
behavior, also gives insight to his personality while his movement and mannerisms
MO
may also reveal his disposition at a given moment
ON
3. Inner thoughts - what the character thinks, revealing their personalities and feelings.
4. Reactions - a character’s effect on others or what the other characters say and feel
AT
I
about this character; how the character makes other characters feel: others are
NE
R
scared, happy, confused, excited, annoyed with a given character
5. Speech - what the character says or his/her manner of speaking, tone, choice of
GE
words: gentle, soft-spoken, rude, aggressive, imposing, monopolizing, etc.; dialogue
with other characters and a monologue or the character talking to himself also allows
T
inference to a character’s traits or motives.
1S
⚫
As real people, characters in creative nonfiction are complex and multi-faceted
and writers may not be able to describe them directly in-depth. Their traits and layers
of their personalities are revealed accordingly with how much participation the writer
allows these characters in his written work. To make descriptions even vivid, writers
use figurative language such as symbolism, similes or metaphors.

WHAT’S MORE
Instructions: Read the following excerpt from I have a Dream, a speech delivered by
the late Martin Luther King in 1963. Answer the following questions.
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest
2.0
demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
SI
ON
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand
today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a
great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the
ER
flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of
-V
their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later,
LE
S
the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the
chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island
DU
of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later,
MO
the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an
exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful
ON
condition.
AT
I
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects
of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of
NE
R
Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to
fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men,
GE
would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note,
T
insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred
1S
obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come
back marked "insuf ficient funds."
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe
that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And
so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches
of freedom and the security of justice.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
S
Instructions: In the following excerpt on a feature story about Robin Williams, pick out
LE
clues to his traits or state of mind at the time of writing; identify these traits/ state of
DU
mind and the method used: (physical description; action/ behavior/ attitude, inner
thoughts; reaction; manner of speaking/ dialogue/ tone/ words used; another
MO
character’s opinion; author’s description or the character’s description of himself ) by
which these are revealed. Give at least five (5).
ON
When Williams and Rock had some time alone, though, Rock saw another,
AT
I
startlingly different side of his new friend — a man who was visibly distraught about
his life. “He’d be up, up, up, and then sitting down with him, he’d cry and start t alking
NE
R
about his personal life,” Rock recalls. “It’s something I never expected.” As Rock
learned, Williams was heading toward a divorce with his second wife — “He was broke
GE
up about it” — and he also noticed Williams was going to the bathroom to pee “every
15 minutes” for what he later learned was a worsening heart condition. “I know
T
comedians can be dark, but it was weird to be in fucking Afghanistan and have
1S
someone sit down and really open up like that,” Rock says. “When he got deep, he
got deep.”
By then, Williams was nothing less than an institution, revered for his
charitable causes and his hyperkinetic, pinball-machine-on-overdrive brain. “He was
like a computer,” says Martin Short, who met Williams in 1979. “Spewing out names
from some film he saw once in 1956. He was just a genius. I would be in awe.”

Williams had a Best Supporting Actor Oscar (for his role in 1997’s Good Will
Hunting) and a career that alternated between crowd-pleasers like Patch
Adams and Mrs. Doubtfire, and gritty indies like One Hour Photo and Insomnia.
He also had a reputation as one of the most generous in his field, from working
tirelessly to help the homeless at Comic Relief benefits with his friends Billy Crystal
and Whoopi Goldberg to his regular donations to AIDS char ities.
2.0
Over the course of his career, Williams talked openly about his struggles with
drinking and drugs, the breakups of his first two marriages and other personal issues.
SI
ON
“Oh, I don’t have inner peace,” he told RS in 1988. “I don’t think I’ll ever be the type
that goes, ‘I am now at one with myself.’ Then you’re fucking dead, OK? You’re out of
ER
your body.” He routinely turned morbid thoughts like suicide into fodder for jokes.
While shooting Mork & Mindy, he saw a rope dangling of the set and pretended to
-V
hang himself. “The series is called Mindy now,” he cracked. In a podcast with Marc
Maron in 2010, he rattled of a bit about his conscience quizzing him on his suicidal
LE
S
thoughts: “What were you going to do, cut your wrist with a Waterpik?” Yet Williams
always left the impression he was in control, that he wouldn’t end up like so many
DU
artists before who had succumbed to their demons. His first priority was to entertain,
MO
to get the laugh, rather than dwell on himself. “He talked about drinking and a little
about depression, but it was always
light,” says Bob Zmuda, the Comic
ON
Relief organizer who had known Williams since the late Seventies. “It was always
under control. So we all thought, ‘OK, well, I know Robin had some drinking problems,

and he was mildly depressed.

Cinderella (As Told by the Evil Stepmother)
-
Tavinder New
“I hate you. You, old hag!” she screamed as she threw the bowl across the room. I
had made her favorite dish – soup, which I had spent ages cooking in the kitchen. Her father
had told me that it was going to be hard to be accepted as her new mother, but this was much
harder than I had imagined.
2.0
“Mum we have tried. I offered to give her my new dress,” said Gemma.
SI
ON
“I said that I would take her to the ball with us,” said Louisa. “What can we do? She calls us
ugly sisters, it’s so cruel,” cried Pamela.
ER
I hugged my two daughters closely. I wanted Cinderella to accept us as we had with
her. But she hated us; calling me a ‘wicked stepmother’ and slamming doors. She would cry
-V
and portray us as ogres.
LE
S
With the arrival of the Prince’s invitation for us to go to the ball, I even tried to invite
her, but she was spoiled and rude. “I don’t want to go, you old hag. Get lost!” she shouted. “I
DU
will get there myself ,” she stormed off as usual to her room. “I miss my mum. You married my
MO
father for his money. You old cow!” as she shouted going into her room.
I sat down, and felt the tears roll down my cheeks. I had fallen in love with her father,
ON
Jeremy. It wasn’t planned and he had accepted my two daughters with open arms. I hadn’t
AT
I
wanted to get married again; worried as to what people would say and being stereotyped as
NE
R
the wicked stepmother.
Jeremy had told me about Cinderella; that she was pretty, had beautiful golden hair
and green eyes. But she was pampered by her father who had put her on a pedestal. She
GE
was bad tempered, fussy and as soon as I came into the house, she made me, and my
1S
T
daughters live in misery.
Cinderella would shout, scream and write letters to the neighbors that I had locked her
in the basement without food. But this was simply not true. She would rip my daughters’
clothes, put mouse traps so that we would step into them and would have to go to the local
hospital. Often, she would smash plates, not eat, and people feel sorry for her. But when she
went out with Jeremy, her attitude would change.
“Good morning, Mrs. Pennington. How do you do? greeted Cinderella. “What a lovely
child you have Jeremy!”

“I have lost weight again. My stepmother is evil and I need some food. Can I eat at
your house?” So, she would go to eat at the neighbors’ houses and get free clothes; and they
would feel sorry for her; while I was perceived as the evil stepmother.
“Do you think the Prince will ask me? asked Gemma. She had fallen in love with him
and had seen him a couple of times in town. I wanted Gemma to get married to the Prince.
They were perfect for each other and had spent time together in theatre shows and jousting
2.0
fights.
SI
ON
I had received the Prince’s Invitation personally. “Prince Griffiths has cordially invited
you to the Grand Ball, where he will announce his engagement. The ball will be a grand affair
ER
so dress for the occasion.”
-V
This was the news that I was waiting for; the public statement for the wedding of my
daughter. I had tried once more to invite Cinderella, but again , she threw her spoon at my
S
face hitting my head. “Go away, you hag” she shouted. I never told Jeremy how much she
LE
hated me and would lie about my bruises and cuts. I would tell him that I had fallen over or
DU
that I was just being clumsy.
MO
The night of the ball came. We had all dressed up and were ready to go, with the
anticipation of the news of my daughter’s wedding. The palace was magnificent: gold,
ON
sparkling, grand staircases and chandeliers. The servants looked well-dressed themselves
AT
I
and the prince… the prince looked so dazzling.
It was then that I saw this mysterious girl. I was sure that she was wearing one of
NE
R
Gemma’s dresses from her closet, as well as her shoes. She was wearing a mask and
accidentally spilled her drink on the Prince. As far as I could see, she was apologizing, but I
GE
was sure that she had put something into that drink.
T
Prince Griffiths danced with that girl for most of the night, while Gemma had tears in
1S
her eyes; hiding herself inside the toilet in embarrassment. I was about to confront the prince,
when this girl suddenly run off at the struck of midnight. She left one of her slippers on the
landing. Prince Griffiths himself fainted and there was chaos in the castle as we were all
ushered out.
Pacing up and down, I was concerned over Gemma who had locked herself in the
bedroom after the ball. There was a commotion over the Prince coming over to find the girl
who he had danced with the night before. He had roamed around town asking women to try
17

on the glass slipper. I desperately wanted to speak to the Prince as to why he had changed
his mind over Gemma, so I asked. “Prince Griffiths, I thought you loved Gemma?” “Gemma?!
I have heard how cruel and mean she was to her stepsister. I have heard how she had treated
Cinderella so unkindly.”
“But this is simply not true! You have spent time with Gemma, how can you….?!”
“Yes, I had. but that mysterious girl told me so many things that horrified me. I also fell in love
2.0
with her beauty, that golden hair…I must find out who she is. And by the way, I heard rumors
of you locking your stepdaughter in the basement. I don’t want to be associated with a cruel
SI
ON
family like that.” “That’s a false accusation! I have never done that.” “Let’s go and check then,
shall we!” he shouted. He dashed down to the basement, and I could hear weeping inside.
ER
My heart was beating louder and louder as he was smashing the door. The door broke into
-V
pieces as he found Cinderella in the room with tears down her cheeks.
“Prince, you have come to save me from this evil woman’ she pointed at me.
S
“This is simply not true. Cinderella please stop lying to people” “See, Prince? She is an evil
LE
woman. Locking me inside the room and pushing her daughter to marry you for your money!”
DU
“Of course not, Gemma is crazy about you. She truly does love you!” “Stop this nonsense! he
MO
shouted at me. “Poor Cinderella. Now, if you could you try this slipper for me?”

They would much rather believe the story of this poor innocent girl.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
Instructions: Read about the near-death experience of former NFL player, Earl Woff,
written in his own words and as it appeared in the Reader’s Digest March 2017 issue.
Answer the questions that follow.
This is How I Survived
Earl Woff
2.0
-
It’s a Monday in February, and I’m back home in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
SI
ON
Though I’m exhausted from travel, it’s my buddy’s birthday, so I go over to his
girlfriend’s house and we spend the night catching up until I say goodbye around
ER
midnight. My mother’s home is just five minutes away. I had come home to celebrate
-V
her birthday.
My 2011 white Range Rover is parked on the street. As I get in and reach for
LE
S
the seat belt, someone yanks my door open. There’s a man wearing a black ski mask
DU
and pointing an AK-47 inches from my face.
MO
“Give me the keys!” he barks. “And get out of the car!”
coming out of my mouth.
ON
I freeze, wondering if my buddy is playing a trick on me. I babble, but words aren’t
AT
I
“Give me your wallet! Your phone!”
NE
R
I step out and hand over my belongings. Another man with a shotgun rushes toward s
me and shoves me into the backseat. Two other men with shotguns appear from the
GE
side of the house and hop into the car. The man with the AK-47 gets behind the wheel,
and I’m squished between two of the masked men in the backseat. We begin driving
1S
T
around the neighborhood.
“Where’s the money at?” one shouts.
“I, I, I don’t have any money,” I stammer.
“Where’s the money at?”
“You can have the car. You can have anything you want,” I say. “Just let me get back
to my family.”

“Why are you lying?” says the man in the front passenger seat. “Lie to me again and
I’ll kill you.”
I can’t feel my mouth when I talk. I try to breathe. I think of my mom. I think of God. I
stare straight ahead. I’m trembling. Though I can’t see their faces, I can tell by their
voices that they are young. They ask for my name.
2.0
“Earl,” I say. “Earl Wolff.”
SI
ON
“Wait,” one of the men says. “The football player?”
“Yes,” I say.
ER
“And you’re telling me you have no money?”
-V
One of the men next to me bashes me twice in the right knee with his gun. I’m
bleeding.
LE
S
Where I’m from, a lot of people don’t make it out. Of all my friends I grew up
DU
with, only one went to college. I’ve never been arrested; I graduated from college in
three and a half years. I’m terrified of getting in trouble. My main motivation: I don’t
MO
want to ever disappoint my mother.
ON
My parents separated when I was in second grade, and though my father is
still in my life, I’ve always been a mama’s boy. She was in the military, and she just
AT
I
retired after 31 years of service. The hardest year of my life was when she was
NE
R
deployed overseas. Playing football, I knew I’d have an opportunity to provide for her.
And yet here I am, kidnapped after an innocent night at my friend’s house.
GE
My heart is racing, my head spinning. All I’m thinking is why this is this
T
happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?
1S
My financial adviser never allows me to keep too much money in my bank
account. So, when one of my captors orders me to withdraw $10,000, I say it’s
impossible.
“I only have $400 in my account,” I say. “Look, you have my phone. Open the Wells
Fargo app. Here’s my password. You’ll see there’s just $400.”
“If you’re lying,” he says, repeating a numbing refrain, “I’ll kill you.”

When they see I’m not lying, they ask if my friend has money at the house where they
picked me up.
“Maybe,” I say. “If he does, he’ll give you whatever he has.”
We drive back to my friend’s house. I am led to the door with my hands in the air. I
feel the AK-47 pressed against my back. My friend opens the door. He instantly slam s
2.0
it in my face. I now think I am dead. I close my eyes.
My captors are panicking. I hear them conspiring, wondering if my friend has
SI
ON
called the cops. They rush me back into the vehicle and secure zip ties around my
ankles and my arms, which are then tied behind my back. They put an itchy hat over
ER
my face. Now we’re driving, and I have no idea where we are or what time it is. At
-V
some point, two other men get into the vehicle, and five of us are crammed into the
backseat. I am exhausted. I try to keep my faith. I try to think of my mom. I am numb,
LE
S
but she is all I have left.
The car jolts to a stop. I’m pulled out of the back and shoved onto the road.
DU
Lying on my back, I think, I can’t die this way. And then, in the distance, I hear the
MO
faintest sound of police sirens. The men hear it too. They scurry into the car and speed
ON
away.
I am left alone. I am alive. I manage to shimmy out of the arm ties and then
AT
I
slide the hat off my face. I’m surrounded by woods. I can’t free my legs because those
ties are too tight, so I begin to hop. I hop and hop and hop down the road. I eventually
NE
R
come across a trailer park. At the second trailer, the lights are on. I can hear the sound
GE
of laughter and chatter, so I knock on the door, back up, and wait with my hands up.
“Who is it?” a man barks from behind the door.
1S
T
“Sir,” I say. “I’ve been in a terrible situation and I need some help.”
He opens the door and stares at me.
“I have just been robbed and kidnapped,” I say. “Can you please call the police?”
Another man appears in the doorway and points a handgun at me.
“Look, I play for the Jacksonville Jaguars,” I say, pointing to the team -issued shorts
I’m wearing.

They don’t trust me. I anticipate a shot being fired, so I fall down and roll on the
ground. There’s a loud bang. Shot fired. I hear the men close the door, and I realize I
can still feel my body. The shot was likely a warning to scare me or anyone else who
might have been lurking in the shadows. But I am alone. I am on the ground. I’m
sobbing.
I suddenly get a rush of adrenaline. I manage to get my legs out of the ankle
2.0
restraints and start running. I see an intersection. I stand in the grass as cars pass by.
SI
ON
I wave my hands, asking for someone to stop, but no one does. I run to a gas station.
It’s lit up, but nobody is there. The pay phone has a broken cord hanging from it. I

crumble to the ground, defeated again, when a couple pulls in.

“Are you OK?” the woman asks.
“I was robbed and kidnapped,” I say. “Please, I just need some help.”

“That’s all you need me to do?” she says in a maternal way. “We are going to wait for

Setting - specific place, time period, weather, time of day in which the story takes place
•
Atmosphere – the surrounding mood, generally established through the meaning and
•
ER
action of the scene/ setting
-V
A change in the setting creates a specific atmosphere and from each, a different story
would emerge (example: a home invasion at daytime and at night would vary in motive
S
or outcome)
•
LE
Setting evokes a specific behavior or emotional response from the characters
DU
(example: darkness is associated to trouble/ danger and character would feel unsafe,
evoking a worried/tense response also from readers)
•
MO
Atmosphere functions to set the emotions and state of mind and brings out inner
experience. Words used whether symbolically or as concrete expressions allow the

reader to experience what is depicted.

Atmospheric tension is the disruption of balance or status quo much like the conflict
in the plot through:

R
1. putting characters in opposition with nature – dark and stormy night; turbulent weather
puts people on the edge

2. putting characters in unfamiliar setting – remote/abandoned campsite gives the
creepy, terrifying feeling

Some ways to establish mood/ atmosphere:
1. Word choice – the exact scene may evoke different feelings as written by two different
writers.
2. Tone - the writer’s attitude contribute to the mood
3. Setting – as already mentioned, can affect the mood. One must pay attention
on the way characters interact with what is happening around them (e.g. does it

4. Dialogue – pep talk creates a different mood (relaxed) from a heated
argument (tension)

6. Description – the writer decides as to which scene or object to focus on or

The Wicked Queen in Snow White stunned me. “Wow she has power, but she is misusing

Then my sister, Lizzie would counter with, “No, that is mine, because I am the Empress!”.

I lost my attempt at territorial expansion because I forgot that there was a title greater than

queen.
I loved the power of the words, “I command you!”
Of course, shouting that as a 7-year-old is different from a 30-year-old with an army.
But……sometimes I think if people would just do what they were commande d to do,
everything would work out better. Don’t laugh. Democracy (which I prefer to monarchy as a
real-life political system), works. But really, some people should be told what to do. Especially
during a government shutdown.

Well, I didn’t get a crown, but I married a prince. When you go back in Bud’s genealogy
you collide with a wall of kings and queens. I always knew he was special.
As the mother of many children I had plenty of years of telling small people what they
should do. I think I was very benevolent, and they love me very much, so it worked out.

the Americans to repair it because they wanted to rent it postwar.” However, it was

Kathleen’s grandparents had gone to Marinduque “to regroup,” which, I gathered,

In 1961, when Kathleen was herself first introduced to the white house, she
was only four years old. The Casa Blanca, wrote Kathleen, “worked hard as a hotel in
the 50s” (which was when our family used to stay in it). “Its inner architecture,” she

WHAT IS IT
Here are more figures of speech that you can add to the ones already
discussed in previous lessons that you can use in creative nonfiction:
Anaphora – the use of a word/ phrases/ sequence of words repeatedly in nearby
clauses or sentences to add emphasis; almost always parallel-structured
2.0
Example: Our nation is at war… Our economy badly weakened … Our healthcare is
too costly…
SI
ON
Antithesis – a contradiction that pits two ideas against each other in a parallel,
balanced way
ER
Example: The church contains in full the kindness and cruelty, the fierce intelligenc e
and the shocking ignorance, the struggles and successes, the love and yes, the
-V
bitterness and bias.”
S
Euphemism – substitute words/ phrases to soften/ subdue meaning or sound
escort – call girl/boy
LE
Example: pass away instead of die
DU
Hyperbole – exaggerated statements or claims that should not be taken literally
MO
Example: “The deal I just made with China is, by far, the greatest and biggest deal
ever made for our Great Patriot Farmers in the history of our Country," Trump tweeted
ON
the day after. "In fact, there is a question as to whether or not this much product can
be produced? Our farmers will figure it out,” President Trump announced recently.
AT
I
Irony – contrary to meaning or expected such as in verbal and situational irony
NE
R
Example: “I thank you for betraying me.”
The people who we entrusted our safety to, are the ones who endanger us.
Parallelism – parts of lines, verses or sentences or paragraphs are grammatically the
GE
same or are similarly structured
T
Example: We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the
1S
unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our
bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the
highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's
basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as
long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs
stating: "For Whites Only" We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi
cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote
