Descriptive writing<br> persuasive writing<br> autobiographical writing<br> biographical writing

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The primary purpose of descriptive writing is to describe a person, place or thing in such a way that a picture is formed in the reader's mind. Capturing an event through descriptive writing involves paying close attention to the details by using all of your five senses.

Persuasive writing intends to convince readers to believe in an idea or opinion and to do an action. Many writings such as criticisms, reviews, reaction papers, editorials, proposals, advertisements, and brochures use different ways of persuasion to influence readers.

An autobiography is a non-fiction story of a person's life, written by the subject themselves from their own point of view. Certain autobiographical writing, such as Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, can endure for well over a century and become part of the literary canon.

Biographical writing is a specific form of writing and research that takes as its subject the lives of individuals. As such it concentrates on constructing personal histories, and places them within their social, political and historical context, in order to discover and explain the influences on an individual's life.

Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi."

Flura [38]

Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi."

Where she stopped the sign read: "Mme. Sofronie. Hair Goods of All Kinds." One flight up Della ran, and collected herself, panting. Madame, large, too white, chilly, hardly looked the "Sofronie."

"Will you buy my hair?" asked Della.

"I buy hair," said Madame. "Take yer hat off and let's have a sight at the looks of it."

Down rippled the brown cascade.

"Twenty dollars," said Madame, lifting the mass with a practised hand.

Madame Sofronie's character is most developed through

direct characterization, using her words and feelings.

indirect characterization, using her thoughts and action.

direct characterization, describing her physical appearance.

indirect characterization, describing her personality.

Please write a book summary

gladu [14]

Answer:

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

Explanation:

So this one is fairly different from the other one, it's a book that was originally written in French. It's about a man named Jean who goes to jail for a long time for stealing bread. He later gets out years later, and struggles finding shelter and a job because he used to be in jail. Anyways, he meets a guy who offers him shelter, and Jean later steals his silver to sell it, the man finds out but kind of allows him because he knows he's suffering.

This is all I know so far because I'm not done reading it, (it's a very big book) but I like it so far.

Also the book was written in 1845, it's old, but interesting. :D
