Article A
Article B
Boracay is a small island in the Philippines,
located in the Western Visayas. It has a
population of 32,267 as of February 2016.
The sunlight glistens as it touches
the water and the eyes. You can feel that
you are heading to a territory where the sun
holds its dominion. It is a place where
bodies worship and revere the presence of
that grand ball despite the physical and
cultural differences present. You’ve read all
about it before, and encountered the apt
adjectives and glowing reviews. People
around you swear about the effervescent
qualities that can only be used for places of
fantasy. It took some effort to get there.
Tickets, boarding passes, and other
necessities get tossed aside upon
disembarkation. They do not seem to matter
for you are here. You look again for the
words that were thrown to your direction, or
the articles you’ve read for a better way of
comparing views. But they all get blurry as
the scenes from the sea unfold before you.
Your consciousness, for a moment,
becomes a castaway.
The island comprises the barangays of
Manoc-Manoc, Balabag, and Yapak in the
municipality of Malay, in Aklan Province.
Apart from its white sand beaches, Boracay
is also famous for being one of the world's
top destinations for relaxation. As of 2013, it
was emerging among the top destinations
for tranquility and nightlife.
Boracay was awarded as the 2012 Best
Island in the World by the international
travel magazine Travel + Leisure. In 2014,
the resort island was at the top of the "Best
Islands in the World" list published by the
international
magazine
Condé
Nast
Traveler. In 2016, Boracay headed the
magazine's list of "Top 10 destinations to
watch.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Creative nonfiction or also called literary nonfiction is a genre of writing that uses literary
styles and techniques to create factually accurate narratives. It involves writing about factual
personal experience, real people, or events. The writer can write about anything, such as a
personal experience, current events, or issues in the public eye. Likewise, he/she can also inject
personal thoughts, feelings, or opinions into the writing. These are different types and forms of
Creative Nonfiction:
1. Autobiography - It is a narrated biography of oneself. It comes from the Greek, autos
means “self”, bios means “life”, and graphein means “to write.” Autobiography is one
type of biography, which tells a life story of its author, meaning it is a written record of
the author’s life. Rather than being written by somebody else, an autobiography comes
through the person’s own pen, in his own words. Some autobiographies are written in
the form of a fictional tale; as novels or stories that closely mirror events from the
author’s real life. In writing about personal experience, one discovers himself. Therefore,
it is not merely a collection of anecdotes – it is a revelation to the readers about author’s
self-discovery.
An excerpt from an Autobiography of an Anonymous Soldier
2. Biography - It is simply an account or detailed description about the life of a person. It
entails basic facts, such as childhood, education, career, relationships, family, and
death. Biography is a literary genre that portrays the experiences of all these events
occurring in the life of a person, mostly in a chronological order. Unlike a resume or
profile, a biography provides a life story of a subject, highlighting different aspects of his
of her life. A person who writes biographies, is called as a “biographer.” Most
biographers use sources gathering factual information about a person’s life. These are:
 Primary sources – these are things like letters, diaries, or newspaper accounts.
 Secondary sources – these are other biographies, reference books, or histories
that provide information about the subject of the biography.
Life in Europe
Rizal lived in Europe for 10 years and picked up a number of languages. He could
converse in more than 10 different tongues. While in Europe, the young Filipino

different fields of study. Rizal excelled at martial arts, fencing, sculpture, painting,
teaching, anthropology, and journalism,3 among other areas.
During his European sojourn, he also began to write novels. Rizal finished his first
book, "Noli Me Tangere" (Latin for "Touch Me Not"), while living in Wilhelmsfeld,
Germany, with the Rev. Karl Ullmer.
3. Memoir - It is a written factual account of somebody’s life. It comes from the French
word mémoire, which means “memory,” or “reminiscence.” This literary technique tells a
story about the experiences of someone’s life. A literary memoir is usually about a
specific theme, or about a part of someone’s life. It is a story with a proper narrative
shape, focus, and subject matter, involving reflection on some particular event or place.
It is also reflective and emotional in form which focuses on a brief period of time or
series of related events. The text is about the personal knowledge and/or experiences of
the author and is written in first person from the author’s point of view.
When someone you know and love dies, your life changes, and it is the change that
fuels your grief. You can't call them or see them like you used to; you can only smell
their cologne on the clothes that still hang in their closet. But when it's a fetus that has
died, or a baby, or whatever you want to call it, your life doesn't change, and that's
the strange part - because it was supposed to.
An excerpt from “I Was Pregnant and Then I Wasn't” by Laura Turner
4. Literary Journalism/Reportage – It is a creative nonfiction form that comes closest to
newspaper and magazine writing. It is a form of nonfiction that combines factual
reporting with some of the narrative techniques and stylistic strategies traditionally
associated with fiction. It is fact-driven and requires research and, often, interviews.
Likewise, it is sometimes called “immersion journalism” because it requires a closer,
more active relationship to the subject and to the people the literary journalist is
exploring. Like journalistic writing, the literary journalism piece should be wellresearched, focus on a brief period of time, and concentrate on what is happening
outside of the writer’s small circle of personal experience and feelings.
After he was taken to a police station and beaten for the better part of a day,
Santiago was led back into the streets and shot multiple times, suffering wounds to
his chest and arms. Thinking him dead, one officer approached Santiago and placed
a pistol next to his hand. Santiago waited, barely breathing as blood pooled around
him, until he heard the hurried sounds of journalists arriving at the scene. He sat up,
pleading for his life and waving his blood-soaked arms in surrender. By the next
morning, local newspapers had already assigned Santiago a new name: Lazarus.
An excerpt from the newspaper article entitled
“The Catholic rebels resisting the Philippines’ deadly war on drugs”
5. Personal Narrative - It is a prose narrative that relates personal experience, usually told
in first person. It is a form of writing in which the writer relates one event, incident, or
experience from his/her life. Personal narratives allow, the writer, to share his/her life
with others, vicariously experiencing the things he/she describes. The writer has to put
the readers in the midst of the action, letting them live through an event, incident, or
experience. Personal narratives also incorporate vivid descriptive details, as well as the
thoughts, feelings, and reactions of the writer. A good personal narrative, like a good
story, creates a dramatic effect, makes the readers laugh or gives them pleasurable
fright. Although personal narratives capture true events, sometimes writers use
hyperbole to illustrate a point or for dramatic effect.
Softball is just not my game. I have a knack for always getting hit in the head by the
ball. It doesn’t matter where I’m standing. The ball just seems to find me. My
teammates gave me a glove and put me way out in left field. I didn’t complain. I just
wanted to make sure I knew when gym class ended so I wouldn’t be left behind.
Nothing happened the first three innings. Well, things happened but not in my little
part of the softball field. I started daydreaming. The next thing I knew, I heard the
4 I put up my glove to protect my head, and an
sound of a ball whizzing through the air.
amazing thing happened. I caught the ball in my glove! Not only did I catch the ball,
but I helped my team to win.
An excerpt from “Keep an Eye on the Sky!”
6. Travelogue - It is a person’s account of a journey to another country or place. It can
either be a written report with many factual details or a narrative story about personal
impressions and experiences supported by images. People take the help of travelogues
to know about a particular place before deciding to visit it. Travel writing, generally gives
detailed information about the attractions of a place, so that, people will get tempted to
go there for vacation.
If you are worried that you won’t be able to enjoy Siargao since you are not a surfer,
maybe this travelogue will convince you that there is more to this paradise than just
surfing!
Sohoton Cove National Park Tour- I am so amazed with this tour! I wasn’t expecting it
to be that eventful, but oh my! Sohoton blew me away! Despite being very far from
Siargao, and by far I mean a 2-hour pumpboat ride to Socorro, Surigao Del Norte , so
much await when you finally arrive at the destination. The place was teeming with with
huge rock formations and there were lush of greens everywhere!
And kudos to the tourism office in Socorro, I have never seen a more organized tour
than what they offer!
An excerpt from “Travelogue: Siargao”
7. Reflection Essay - It is a kind of writing that requires the author to inform the reader
about his or her attitude, idea or impression regarding a given topic. Writing reflective
essays is meant to help its author describe how a certain event, person or experience
has impacted him or her; or to describe the process of his or her personal growth during
a significant experience (this can be a journey, an important class etc). For example, you
may be required to write about a person who has had a significant impact on your life or
career – it can be your teacher, your parents or your friend. In this case you will be
writing to describe this person and explain how he or she has affected you and how your
personality changed as a result.
The day Joel was born, my mother took me with her to the hospital rather than my
father. It wasn't a planned move, but Jake and my father were both feverish; I was the
next best alternative. Sitting with her through every contraction, I gained a new
respect for just how powerful and strong a woman could be in what might be
considered their weakest moment. Holding her hand and feeding her ice chips, I
gained a connection with my mother that I didn't realize we were lacking.
The moment my new baby brother came into this world, I realized two things nearly
simultaneously. First, you don't realize how much you need something until it's sitting
in your lap. Second, my life after this moment would never be the same. The moment
he curled his chubby little finger around mine, I understood the words "happy
accident" completely.
There are many different experiences in life that have changed a part of me as a
person. But, nothing so profoundly changed my views and outlook on life like the birth
of my youngest brother. Joel's arrival was a life-altering event that caused me to see
the world through new eyes.
An excerpt from “My Little Brother”
8. True Narratives - It is a real-life account told as compelling story. It has the drama of
fiction and the force of fact that is presented in a variety of formats. It is also a true story
5
with plot, action, suspense characters, and settings which delivers a theme or a lesson
observed. The events represent the facts. It is the most informal among the various
types of essays, thus it does not follow a set of formats because the story is told
according to the writer’s sense of style – the narrative voice.
It wasn’t long after Grandmother’s winter visit that we learned she has Alzheimer’s,
a disease that affects the brain. People with Alzheimer gradually lose their memory.
They also behave differently than they usually would. Grandmother used to pride
herself in an elderly home and a thriving vegetable garden. However, she gradually
lost interest in these and other activities. Finally, in April, my mom had to move
Grandmother to Michigan so that she could be closer to us. She now lives in a
nursing home here in Lansing. My mom goes to visit her a lot. I know I should visit
her more, but it’s heartbreaking. Grandmother no longer recognizes me or my
mother anymore.
An excerpt from “Losing Grandmother”
9. Blogs - A blog (a shortened version of “weblog”) is an online journal or informational
website displaying information in the reverse chronological order, with the latest posts
appearing first, at the top. It is a platform where a writer shares his/her views on an
individual subject. Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject or topic,
ranging from politics to sports. Other function as more personal online diaries, and
others function more as online brand advertising of a particular individual or company. A
typical blog combines text, digital images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other
media related to its topic. Originally, blogs were known primarily as places for people to
write about their day-to-day activities. Their mundane, everyday tasks became fodder for
journal entries. Somehow the writers gained followers and the hobby of blogging was
born.
Today, I decided to blog about the Broadway Boys concert experience instead of a
Sunday Currently. But in case you are wondering, I am currently just lying on my
bed as I compose this entry. Almost ready to hit the sheets.
Before anything else, I would like to thank those people who expressed their love
and support for me yesterday during #MaineSingsWithBWBoys. This is not about
the hashtag count; this is more than the numbers. I am expressing my gratitude to
all those who showed appreciation to our performance.
Yesterday, I was sooo happy when the show ended. As in I am super glad that
nothing bad happened. Knowing myself, I always feel like I’d fail in the things I do.
That no matter how hard I try to convince myself that everything’s going to be
alright, I still cannot shrug off that bit of negativity in my system. Still, before the
show started, I summoned my inner Rancho..
An excerpt from Maine Mendoza’s Blog “Broadway Boys In Concert With Yours Truly”
10. Testimonio - The term “testimonio” refers to a kind of writing which comes from Latin
America dealing with experiences of human rights abuse. It is a solemn attestation of
truth. In literature, it is an oral or written autobiographical narrative referred to as
“testimonial literature.” It is a first-person account of a person (narrator) which has faced
instances of social and political inequality, oppression, or any specific form or
marginalization. Testimonio as a form of narrative transcends awareness and descends
toward political objective, questions about institutional power, the need to speak for
justice, the creation of stronger pockets of resistance, the importance of solidarity as
keys to building more equitable social frameworks.

Canadians need to be aware that we are part of this system. Not only here in the
Canada through our immigration policies, but also in the Philippines where Canadian
imperialism contributes to forced immigration. Part of our taxes goes to fund
Canadian companies in the Philippines, and Canadian military training of the
Philippine armed forces to help protect those companies and forcefully displace
Filipinos from the countryside through marginalization. I want a Philippines with true
democracy and true independence. I want justice for the marginalized and
underrepresented.

God and chanting religious songs on the way to school. This began to change, however,
after he read science books that contradicted his religious beliefs. This challenge to
established authority left a deep and lasting impression. At the Luitpold Gymnasium,
Einstein often felt out of place and victimized by a Prussian-style educational system that
seemed to stifle originality and creativity. One teacher even told him that he would never
amount to anything.”
2. “April 28, 2012, we arrived at Baguio City with my family, cousins, auntie and uncle. My

High School, where I completed my elementary and high school education respectively.
Then, I went to University of the Philippines, where I finished my degree in Journalism.”

reminder for us to share the kindness, that others have shared with us. Together we are all
humans, regardless of our skin color, opinions, beliefs or even hairstyles. We all have a
heart and a brain, and those are the only things that matter in life. Just don’t let others taint
your hearts with negativity; thus forever and always be positive.”

It is difficult to identify gaps in my knowledge as an English major, only because I feel
like I have learned so much. I feel that I have largely expanded my literary analysis and writing
skills, but I need to be prepared to teach high school students their required literature. I think it
would be useful to identify commonly taught novels in our local high schools and study them
myself. By studying the required literature and thinking about how to teach it, I will have a
sturdy foundation to work from once I am in the classroom.
A. Biography
B. Reflective Essay
C. True Narrative
D. Literary Journalism
10.
To me, Discovery Shores Boracay is a stark contrast to the island of Boracay itself,
which now seems to be the polar opposite of its better resorts and hotels. It’s a bit ironic: the
only time Boracay feels like an island paradise — which is how it’s marketed at times— is
when you’re ushered into a resort specifically designed to hide what the island is as a whole
and present you with a curated, insular — and quite honestly, artificial — experience that only
shows you a particular slice of the island.
A. Blog
