Answer 2

Answer: Creative nonfiction is a form of literary work that is based on true and factual events. An example of such literary work could be the book "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote. This type of literary work differs from regular nonfiction because, while creative nonfiction is a form of factual nonfiction literary work, it is considered as a story. This means that it has all the regular points of a story, including the beginning, climax, falling action, resolution, etcetera. Nonfiction is considered to be only factual with only information and is not considered to be a story, but rather focuses on key points of an event.
