What is the author’s purpose in the Above passage, and how does he achieve it through his organization and choice of details

English
1 answer:
Orlov [11]3 years ago
3 0

Okay. I cannot see the article, again but will try my hardest to answer this anyway.

The purpose can usually be seen in the first sentence or paragraph (unless you have an excerpt). Though it may not be too specific it will usually be backed up by evidence later in the passage. A purpose can always be proven by text details.

Choice of details: should support the purpose

organization: Some things are good for some purposes.

e.g. cause effect, shows the good or bad effects of a purpose. The author can support the purpose or no.

chronological can show how something has changed over time.

etc.

Try to identify the main structure and how the passage is organized and how it supports the main idea.

Which sentence uses the active voice? my research paper was finished two days early. my research paper is being finished two day
Minchanka [31]
"I finished my research paper two days early."

A good way to determine active vs passive is to ask who performed the action. Did the subject perform the action, or was the action performed "by" the subject?

The subject performs the action in this sentence:

I = [subject]
finished = [action]
my research paper = [thing on which the action was performed]

In the other examples, the subject has an action performed on it. 

My research paper = [subject]
was finished/is being finished = [action]
two days early = [time frame information, not really important for the discussion here]

At this point, you have no indication as to who will finish the paper, do you? No. You assume that the paper will be completed "by me," but it could just as easily be completed "by my friend."

If you can add "by [person/thing]" to a sentence, it's passive voice. If you can't, it's not. Clearly, you would never say "I finished my research paper by me."

Start with one of the following sentences and write a paragraph that creates a picture for your reader. Use concrete, specific l
algol13

Answer:

If you’ve never seen the ocean, you’ve missed a great experience. As you scan the horizon, the expanse of sparkling deep blue water extends to the azure sky. As you approach the shoreline, you feel the fine cool mist driven by the breeze as waves crash loudly on the gritty sand. Mounds of water form as if by magic, donning bubbly caps of white as they grow taller, curling as they race toward the beach. If you are on the Pacific coast at sunset, and there are a few clouds near the horizon, you will enjoy a spectacle of light and color as the reddening sun paints the clouds in hues of gold, crimson, and scarlet as it dips below the edge of the water, and purple dusk settles over the scene.

Explanation:

There is an example. I tried to incorporate images with shapes and colors,  feeling, and movement.

I hope it helps!
