Please help me chooseWhich three excerpts would best be characterized as expository texts?

Expository text gets to the point rather quickly. It is intended as education rather than just narrative text. An example of narrative text is the Excerpt by Charles Dickens which is meant to draw a picture of what this woman was like.

So the last one is out.


The first one talks about volcanoes and how they are classified. That's one of your answers if you are trying for brevety and education.


I think the second one would also be a choice. It is trying to show you the nature of anxiety and what causes it. You learn a lot about symptoms from reading it. It's quick and to the point. Expository? Yes.


I don't think four is exactly expository, but I might be wrong. It sounds too argumentative to be completely expository. It wouldn't be my first choice even though I have read Twain a great deal, beginning in my teens. He always has something pointedly funny to say about the human condition. So it's hard for me not to include him in anything. It's not exactly narrative either. The tough ones are three and four.


Three tries to tell you what it would be like to live in another country. I think it likely is the choice you are looking for.


Answers 1,23. I could be wrong, so if you have a different answer in mind, go with it.

Answer:

1, 2, 3

Explanation:

An expository essay is one that tries to "expose" a topic. This means that it tries to uncover or discover something in order to explain it to an audience. Therefore, this type of writing tries to explain, illustrate, clarify or describe a subject in order to make it easier for readers to understand. In this case, the first three excerpts discuss specific subjects in order to describe and explain them to the readers. Therefore, they would classify as expository essays.

How is the theme of the relationship between humans and nature discussed in each piece? "the way to rainy mountain" and ''How th
ollegr [7]

1. The Way to Rainy Mountain is the story of the Kiowa Tribe. The Kiowa tribe relied on hunting for sustenance. Their history says that they emerged from a log. Their existence is very spontaneous and natural. The tribe was also decimated by natural disasters. The tribe didn't last long. Thus, the human-nature relationship in this literary piece is that Humans cannot exist without nature. Nature decided the longevity of the tribe. Nature dictated who will survive to this day as with natural selection.

2. In the piece "How the World was Made" there is one central character, Maheo. Maheo is all powerful and was responsible for all creation. The human-nature relationship in this story is that of a creator and his creation. Here, Maheo created nature and decided their fate.

The two literary pieces are opposites when it comes the their relationship with nature. Both present great contrasts into how each tribe regarded nature.

In writing/speeches what are Ethos, Pathos, and Logos?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Look down belowwwww!

Explanation:

Ethos:

Ethos is when an argument is constructed based on the ethics or credibility of the person making the argument. Ethos is in contrast to pathos (appealing to emotions) and logos (appealing to logic or reason).

Examples of Ethos:

  • A commercial about a specific brand of toothpaste says that 4 out of 5 dentists use it.

Pathos:

Advertisers use the emotions of fear, disgust, and hope to trigger reactions in the audience.

Consider these examples of pathos:

  • It's also very easy to see examples of pathos in famous political speeches.
  • If we don't move soon, we're all going to die!
  • "I'm not just invested in this community - I love every building, every business, every hard-working member of this town."

Logos:

Logos is the persuasive technique that aims to convince an audience by using logic and reason. Also called “the logical appeal,” logos examples in advertisement include the citation of statistics, facts, data, charts, and graphs.

Hope this helped!
