Expository Five types of expository writing. Sequence- writing lists events or steps in chronological order. Descriptive essays- use the senses of sight, smell, touch, hearing, and taste to provide the reader with a mental image or feeling about the subject.

Classification- writing uses an organizational strategy to arrange groups of objects or ideas according to a common theme. Comparison- writing shows the similarities and differences between two or more subjects. Cause-and-effect- writing, also known as analysis, identifies the reasons for an event or situation.

Rising Action After the relative calm of the exposition, there is a gradual raising of the tension in the story using danger, hazard, conflict and other devices. The protagonist is usually deeply involved in this, struggling with other people and their own ability to handle the tension. Rising action is often long and relatively slow, and may occur through several storylines which all act together to create the excitement in the story.

Rising Action The Rising action: in the narrative of a work of fiction, follows the exposition and leads up to the climax. The rising action’s purpose is usually to build suspense all the way up the climactic finish. Rising Action came from the Greek philosopher Aristotle put forth the idea that(“A whole is what has a beginning and middle and end”) This three-part view of a plot structure (with a beginning, middle, and end) prevailed until German playwright and novelist Gustav Freytag laid out what has come to be known as Freytag’s pyramid.
