The option that best reflects the technique the author uses to support her purpose on each excerpt is number 2) “The first excerpt uses facts and statistics, and the second excerpt is told as a story.” In the 1st excerpt the author uses credible sources and statistics to show a reality of refugees in Central America and their reasons for asking for asylum. In except 2 on the other hand, the author narrates a story in the 3er person to illustrate violence, drug and social context of a boy.
Option 1 is incorrect since no narrative skills (1st excerpt) nor quotations are used (2nd excerpt).
Option 3 is also incorrect since text 1 focuses on statistics, not on emotions. And text 2 does not use long explanations.
And option 4 is wrong since no strong words are used in text 1 and the second text is told in the 3rd person point of view instead of first person.
Answer: I have more than two, let me know if you want more
1. ORGANIZE AND PLAN
-Have a story outline (but feel free to change it). Have a structure of the story in mind or on the page. Go through your notes and flag the parts you’ll want to use, whether it’s quotes or key points.
2. Write your lead last. It sometimes stumps writers, the body is more important
okay fine ill give you more
3.If you have multiple stories due, prioritize their writing as to your inspiration. For example, if your brain feels sluggish, write the simple, =story first to warm up. But if you're feeling poetic and the caffeine is kicking in, write the more difficult story before the energy and inspiration leave you.
4.Set yourself a deadline earlier than the publication's deadline.
Let me know if you want more!!
