NON-FICTION
Non-fiction is writing that tells about real people, places, and events.
WHAT IS IT?
Non-fiction is written to convey factual information
Non-fiction is written with a variety of purposes; it depends on the author’s attitude towards a subject.
Non-fiction writing can have the purpose to teach/inform, persuade, inspire, or entertain the reader.
WHAT DOES IT HAVE?
Biography – true account of a person’s life written by another person. It involves research of another person’s life.

Other types of non-fiction include: newspapers, magazines, sports writing, speeches, movie reviews, essays, letters, etc.
WHAT ELSE?
Much like fiction, we can find a couple of things.
Non-fiction can have the parts of plot: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution
There can also be conflicts.Inferences and generalizations can be present in the work as well!
WHAT CAN WE FIND IN NON-FICTION
Inference: an educated guess
It can be correct or faultyExample: If the sky is gray, you can infer that there is a possibility that it could rain.
INFERENCE
It is a broad (not too specific) statement or idea that applies to a group of people or things
Often times, they are not entirely true because there are example of people and things that do not apply to the statement.
Examples: All parents try to make life difficult for their children
Dogs are smarter than cats.
