Question

What makes South!, a memoir by Ernest Shackleton, fall under the nonfiction genre?

Answer 1

Answer:

The narrator was part of the adventure that he writes about.

Explanation:

This book falls under the category of non-fiction because the text is a memoir. This means that the author is telling us about actions and events that actually took place in his life. The narrator was part of the adventure that he writes about, and this means that the story he is telling is a first-hand account of a true event, and not a fictional story.

Answer 2

The narrator uses his imagination to weave an emotional story.
