Jones expresses these dilemmas within his story through an immense selection of literary devices and techniques. While preparing her daughter for her first day of school, the mother in the story puts a lot of time and effort into making sure her little girl's outer appearance is superb.

Essential Literary Nonfiction Forms There are six forms of literary nonfiction (personal experience, biographical sketch, personal opinion, personal reflection, sense of place, and slice of history). The three forms that are the most important are personal experience, biographical sketch, and a slice of history because these three allow the author to build the story based on the events that they have personally witnessed and can explain in great detail. The short story “Aria: A Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood” by Richard Rodriguez uses all three of these forms of literary nonfiction to effectively describe what it was like for a bilingual child to be raised in the public school system thirty years ago. The first, personal experience, is important to every piece of writing. The readers want to know that the author knows what they are talking about.
