Summarize the following passage: To convey their views of experience, these writers often manipulate facts – changing dates, creating characters and events, and inventing dialogue. For example, when Herman Melville wrote his nineteenth-century novella Benito Cereno, he drew many of his facts from an 1817 account of an actual slave revolt. In his story, he reproduces court records and uses plot details from this primary source – Amasa Delano's Narrative of Voyages and Travels, in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres – but he leaves out some incidents, and he adds material of his own. The result is an original work of literature. Wanting to do more than retell the original story, Melville used the factual material as 'a skeleton of actual reality' on which he built a story that attacks the institution of slavery and examines the nature of truth."
