Creative non-fiction texts
are true accounts while
CREATIVE utilizing some of the
NONFICTION techniques and styles of

fiction. Creativity
includes the use of
literary devices which
can be divided into two:
literary techniques
(which include the use of
figurative language) and
literary elements (which
include the theme).
These are specific, deliberate construction and use of
language to convey meaning. Oftentimes, these
Literary techniques are indirectly or implicitly used in a text.
Techniques Sometimes, readers experience difficulty in figuring out
the intended meaning because of these techniques.
Unlike literary texts, techniques are not necessarily
present in all texts. However, creative non-fiction texts
utilize techniques commonly used in literary texts as
part of art and aesthetic aspect of writing. Sometimes,
these techniques are used in free and formal and
informative and narrative essays.
Literary
Techniques
Some of these techniques are the
inclusion of figures of speech,
dialogue, imagery, kenning,
symbolism, parallelism,
foreshadowing, flashback, approach
to events such as deductive or
inductive, employment of sounds,
choice of word, humor,
representation, and form of writing
and more others.
It refers to the central idea, subject, topic or
message of the text. Oftentimes, a narrative
Theme text, poetry and literary texts have themes.
Themes are the overall idea or message
conveyed in the text. It is an underlying belief
and outlook of the author about life inside
and outside him. It is often universal.
Universality means true to all- felt and
experienced by all.
Themes Some of the examples of themes
are love, power, corruption,
courage, excellence, prejudice,
discrimination, good versus evil,
heroism, beauty, nationalism,
patriotism, positivity, poverty,
piousness or religiosity, survival
and many more.
For you to analyze the techniques and
interpret the themes in a text, you should at least have
