Blog #1 "Dentist without Borders" is considered creative non fiction because it is a true story about a visit to the dentist with a fun twist on it. It can seem boring because of the concept of just a typical visit to the dentist but it actually made me laugh. He does not make up fairytales or false characters that would make the story seem fake. In categorizing this essay in a sub-genre of CNF and I would put this under "Essay of Place" because it captures the setting using sensory details using factual information and writer from the narrators point of view.

Blog #2 Love- a strong feeling or affection or a strong interest or pleasure in someone 

There are different types of love like having love for a child or family member, actually being in love with someone like a spouse or significant other, or even having a love with someone of faith like (God) someone who you have never seen but have the belief in him. Love can also be a feeling that is indescribable to try to tell someone how it feels but you just know that its there. Love is also an emotion. There are four different types of love Agape, Phileo, storge,eros.

Blog#3 What is find appealing about CNF is that it is two genres put together in a way. I had already taken creative writing in highschool and even in college but that can be either real or fake but CNF are real stories written creativity. I do find distatsteful about this genre some of the stories because they are real stories you don't really have the ability to spice it up a bit of give false info so that the reader can be a little more engaged. Its not as easy to have an interesting story about a dentist trip unless something out of the ordinary happens. As a reader i get excited about a little sense of extraness to some stories but with CNF it has to be real and if it isnt fun and exciting it might come off boring.

Blog#4 I chose to write a personal essay about my different types of love. I believe that a huge part of life is love and if its not love for a parent, child, significant other or yourself. People are made to love one another and without love life would be harsh. I love the idea of love, any type of love its just a positive feeling or association you can have with someone. my focus about my essay would be the love for my father (my first love) and then my love for my neices (who feel like my children) and then love for a guy.

Blog #5 My take on ethics and CNF is as long as it is true and authentic and genuine then it is good. Like I said in class I dont feel like telling a story about someone else isnt bad without their permission because everyone has their personal feelings and reactions to something and if im telling a story about my mother being on drugs without her reading what i wrote than it should be okay if im telling it from my point of view because i am telling you how i personally feel about the situation and how it affects me as a person. If they are my experiences and emotions then my writing is based on how i feel. Although there is alot of politics with CNF i do believe that the ethics with this genre shouldnt be so strict. 

I believe that it is hard to tell the difference between emotional and factual truth because you do not to assume and i believe some of the best writing will be filled with emotions because it comes from the heart so i wouldnt personally try to negotiate the difference between the two because if its genuine then its pure writing,
