blog 1 From reading these pieces I feel that they are all in first person form. The stories takes me along with the person experiencing it. It's kind of like a navigator. I find that the features of creative nonfiction are true and compelling. I also feel that these type of creative nonfiction stories pulls reader inside, by breaking one story into little pieces to help describe events leading up to the big event. I see that each person telling the story were all very descriptive. Essential Features of Creative Nonfiction 1. True 2. Descriptive 3. Compelling 4. Raw and not made up 5. Journey 6. Biography Sometimes 1. Imaginative 2. Personal 3. Public 4. Private I could not really find a difference between the short forms and long forms because to me they both are deep and personal. "I Think I'm Musing My Mind" was very deep, I kind of felt sorry for the reader as if I am going through what he/she is going through. Then there is another story, "Portrait of my Body" that also makes me feel the same way, sad and sympathetic for the writer. All of these stories made me feel the same way, so as of now, I can't really point out the difference.
