What does that even mean?

Like, make something up and write it in the style of nonfiction as if it's true?
Or write about something that's true... creatively?

My teacher says the goal of short stories (our fiction section) tends to be to let the reader interpret your story and such

whereas nonfiction essays/memoirs/blah tend to be about telling the reader exactly what you want them to know

I guess it's supposed to be true or about opinions...um...it can include research or be more personal...basically we're supposed to use literary techniques and rhetoric and such to describe our point, rather than writing something that sounds entirely clinical. That's at least my understanding...
