Creative non-fiction is a genre that uses storytelling techniques to deliver factual information in an engaging way. It requires the research skills of journalism combined with the narrative skills of fiction writing. By making information vivid and emotional, creative non-fiction aims to give readers a deeper understanding than just presenting verifiable facts. Examples show how it uses vivid language, emotions, and the reader's imagination to stimulate thought and arrive at larger truths beyond mere facts. Creative non-fiction has applications in history, travel writing, profiles, memoirs, journalism, and even business where storytelling can be persuasive.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

- 2. Six Tips For Creating a Dynamic Opening for a Story. A story’s opening paragraph should be designed to capture a reader’s imagination and inspire them to read more. It also acts as a pivotal gateway through which your reader must enter so that they can journey successfully through your story. There are many ways of beginning a story: setting, character description, action, a statement, an idea, or posing an question.
- 3. Image: Floating City. Currens. Pixabay.com
- 4. Tip One ● 1. SETTING Your setting could be a location: a windswept beach, a dark dystopian city, a magical underwater world, or a simple hobbit’s hole as described by J. R. R. Tolkien in the opening page of The Hobbit – “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or eat: It was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”
- 6. Tip Two ● 2. CHARACTER DESCRIPTION The opening lines can introduce your main protagonist, for example – “Ella leaned back against the cold damp stone wall. Her porcelain skin was pale and drawn, with deep lines etched around her eyes and mouth, and her once glorious golden hair hung in matted tendrils around her face.”
- 7. Image: Hurry. Hartwig HKD. Pixabay.com
- 8. Tip Three ● 3. ACTION ● Starting your story with strong action is a great choice as it thrusts the reader into the thick of the story. “The baying of the hunting dogs drew closer as she dashed through the thickly wooded forest. Like a mad woman, she fought her way through the close knit trees, until she was suddenly redeemed by a burst of bright sunlight as she stumbled out of the forest into a small clearing.”
- 10. Tip Four ● 4. A STATEMENT ● The iconic opening statement in Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities is dramatic, poetic and memorable, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of our despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way . . ”
- 12. Tip Five ● 5. AN IDEA ● How about Jane Austen’s opening line in the classic novel, Pride and Prejudice – “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Starting your story with an idea can really get your reader thinking. Although they may not agree with your idea, they can be compelled to read on to see where this idea will take them.
- 13. Image: Figure with question mark. Peggy_Marco. Pixabay.com
- 14. Tip Six ● 6. A QUESTION ● “Where’s Papa going with that axe?” said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.” Charlotte’s Web, E.B. White. Beginning your story with a question sets up intrigue in the reader’s mind. You have provided them with a question that needs to be answered and they must commit to the whole story to discover the answer.
