Read the following from The Best American Magazine Writing 2013:
Pamela Colloff’s “The Innocent Man”
Michael Wolff’s “A Life Worth Ending”
Robert W. Worth “Did You Think about the Six People You Executed?”
Here we introduced six literary nonfiction elements. Actively read the essays by Coloff, Wolff, and Worth. For each essay, answer the following question:
-What do you believe is the primary nonfiction element the author weaves through the essay that allows you to gain additional insight into the essay’s overall purpose?
-Identify the element in each essay, and cite two examples that allow insight into the essay’s meaning.
