We often use examples to help explain complex or abstract ideas, or even to make our writing more vivid and memorable. However, classic clothing essentials like the basic black tee, the perfect pair of jeans, and the little black dress stand the test of time. But much like the little black dress, the ponytail, and Barbie doll, a few select fads will transition from fad to classic.

It can also help you nail down responses – to move ideas from short-term memory into long-term or written memory – so that you can get to the work of writing rather than trying to remember what it is you want to say.

(However, the memoirist who assumes too much creative license without disclosing that fact is vulnerable to censure and public ridicule if his deception is found out, as what happened with James Frey and his memoir, A Million Little Pieces.)

A creative essay could be personified as a hippie under that umbrella; perhaps, she likes to use photos and poetry along with her narration. The story of a girl who flips her car while eating a Twix bar – a memoir – would be me (Sybil), and that story will use narration as well as description. As you read, ask yourself what sort of structure you’ve seen these genres used in.
