    Elements of Non-Fiction

    Characters, Plot, and Setting: Like


    fiction, nonfiction has characters, plot,
    and setting. However, these elements are
    real, not made up. The main character in
    an autobiography or biography is called
    the subject. The subject's words,
    thoughts, and actions are presented.

    More Elements
    Purpose: Different types of nonfiction have
    different purposes. Biographies and
    autobiographies, for example, have the purpose
    of informing the reader. They use explanatory,
    descriptive, and narrative paragraphs. Other
    types of nonfiction, such as newspaper
    editorials, are intended to win readers over to a
    certain opinion. They use persuasive
    paragraphs. Sometimes a piece of writing
    combines purposes
