Understanding the importance of distinguishing between fiction and nonfiction based on the writer's purpose.
The big distinction between factual and fictional narratives is based on a writer's purpose. The writers of factual stories try to recount events as they actually happened, but writers of fictional stories can depart from real people and events because the writers' intents are not to retell a real-life event.
Biographies and memoirs are examples of factual stories, whereas novels and short stories are examples of fictional stories.
Nonfiction provides direct information and aims to convey truth, while fiction allows for creative interpretation and imagination.
