The three traits of narrative nonfiction are:
-
Inclusion of dialogue - Narrative nonfiction often incorporates real conversations between individuals to create a more engaging and vivid story.
-
Descriptive writing - This trait involves using rich and vivid descriptions to paint a clear picture of people, places, and events, enhancing the reader's experience.
-
Figurative language - Although primarily based on factual content, narrative nonfiction can use figurative language to convey emotions and create a stronger connection with the reader.
While "great main characters" can be a component, it is more about the portrayal of real individuals than a defining trait of the genre. The problem/solution storyline is more common in fictional narratives or specific types of nonfiction.
