Nonfiction is Not The Enemy

From a reader's perspective nonfiction articles and stories may seem to drag on. One way that makes nonfiction writing bearable is by keeping the topic interesting and continuously adding in new information. In Naomi Fry’s article The Aesthetic Splendor of “The Simpsons” she does a great job at captivating the reader's attention while still being very informative. The article starts off with describing when the golden age of “The Simpsons” took place, and a little about the show. The author then smoothly transitions into why she no longer watches “The Simpsons”, but explains how she has found a new way to enjoy the show. Throughout the article the author shares her favorite places that she relives parts of “The Simpsons” that she once loved, and elaborates on the details that caught her eyes. Based on the layout and description that she used made reading this nonfiction article very enjoyable unlike some others that i've read in my past. Another article called How to cure your pandemic blues with moments of pure joy by Rebecca Ruiz starts off by talking about why anyone would ever dance while on a treadmill. The article then takes a turn and discusses that the author started to treadmill dance over the course of the ongoing pandemic. The author states that by doing this activity it serves as a way of relief from her stress and anxiety, and claims that a psychologist can see how this activity helps. The flow of her article would keep readers interested while also displaying new information that many may not know. Based on how both authors formatted their articles it made it quite enjoyable to read nonfiction while keeping the reader interested about the information that they are trying to present.
