How is this excerpt of an expository essay organized? EXCERPT: CONVERSATIONAL BALLGAMES

1 answer:

6 0

I searched the excerpt which name is conversational ballgames and after I read it I got to the conclusion that it is organized the following way:

1. First, the author COMPARES the western-style conversation with the tennis game and she says that they are similar because in the western style when the person who is talking introduce a topic then she/he is expecting the other person to agree or disagree and keep talking about the reasons why, she says that she only doesn’t wait for you to agree or disagree, she expected more than that. Just like in the tennis game, if you throw the ball you expect from the other person to hit it back.

2. And then, when the author talks about Japanese-style conversation, she says that it isn’t like tennis or volleyball at all; there, she CONTRASTS the Japanese-style conversation with the two other games saying how different the games are from the Japanese-style.

The pandemic has affected my life because anybody can get sick such as a loved one or a close friend. Also things are more difficult to do such as shopping and going basically anywhere because of social distancing, wearing masks and certain stores and businesses closing early.

What does Frost mean by the line "So Eden sank to greif?"

SOVA2 [1]

Answer: The line 'So Eden sank to grief' is an allusion, or literary reference, to the Biblical story about The Garden of Eden, a perfect paradise until Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge. By making this reference, Frost is implying that the idea nothing good can last is an old one; it's part of our human experience.
