Fiction has a specific format that makes it effective in swaying people; it is telling a story in a roundabout yet enticing way that garners interest and captures people’s attention. A lot of nonfiction, on the other hand, does not do this. News articles, for example, get straight to the point of providing a reader with information. While there is certainly a place for such writing and the intention of my project is not to argue the ineffectiveness of such, information provided in such a way is ultimately less likely to stick with someone or leave a long-lasting effect on them. However, it is important to note that nonfiction can sometimes be written out in a “fiction format” – as in, it can be given to people as a complicated narrative rather than a simplistic and straightforward retelling of an event. My project aims to argue to the effectiveness of such a format to highlight the importance of storytelling in conveying information and influencing others.
