Extractions: Roberta L. Sims Flat Tires It's one of those evenings. I have exactly 15 minutes in which to drive to the soccer field, pick up son Zac from practice, drop him at home (where Ive left a bowl of chili warming on the stove), and drive daughter Casey to school for a meeting to sign up for clarinet lessons. If the traffic lights are with us, I can make this a perfectly synchronized evening. What I havent counted on is this: running over something hard (a bottle?) on the road that thunks the underside of the car in a sickening way. Five minutes later, the car tugs radically to the left. I pull off the road into the back entrance of WalMart and sure enough, the front left tire is flatter than Kansas. Life, of course, is full of choices. Heres one for me now: use the cell phone for its original purpose (road emergency) and wait a minimum of 30 minutes for the tow truck, or change the tire myself. The choice is easy: Casey has gone deadly pale at the prospect of being late, or possibly missing, the first night of her musical future. Besides, Ive changed tires before.

Response Paper Guidelines This is a creative nonfiction writing class in which we will focus on the memoir and the personal essay. Creative nonfiction is a relatively recent term that refers to a kind of essay writing that is sometimes called the literary essay, the lyric essay or the personal essay. It can include literary journalism, travel writing, nature writing and memoir. What distinguishes this kind of writing from traditional or academic writing is that there is an inner, or subjective point of view that informs the writing, and it is, in fact, this inner point of view that is the great strength of this kind of writing. Creative nonfiction differs from other forms of creative writing, such as poetry or fiction, in that it uses elements of both poetry and fiction to create what essentially feels like a new genre that often blurs the distinction between poetry and prose.
