- NONFICTION
- Narrative writing: appears frequently in non-fiction work like history
textbooks and biographies. This type of writing tells a story, and may
include a plot, characterization, and dialogue, but it's all based on facts.
- Descriptive writing: this type of writing is usually not enough to sustain
a whole essay or story, so this is usually joined with other types of
writing. They can describe scenes, places, people, or basically anything
- Expository writing: only gives information and
exposes something about a certain topic, but
doesn't really try to persuade the reader
- Persuasive writing: here, the writer wants to change the reader's
mind or convince the audience to take action. To fulfil this
purpose, the writer will use 3 appeals: pathos, logos and ethos.
- Logos: the writer wants to speak to the audience logically. By
using common sense and logic, evidence, and rational
reasoning, the speaker tries to convince the audience with facts
- Pathos: is the emotional appeal. Using stories that tug at
our sympathies or language which is emotionally moving,
the writer stirs our feelings to make us side with them.
- Ethos: appeals to morals and ethical values, and tries
to convince the audience that what the speaker is
presenting is morally correct and for a good cause
- Logos: the writer wants to speak to the audience logically. By
using common sense and logic, evidence, and rational
reasoning, the speaker tries to convince the audience with facts
- Narrative writing: appears frequently in non-fiction work like history
textbooks and biographies. This type of writing tells a story, and may
include a plot, characterization, and dialogue, but it's all based on facts.

the main focus is telling the story, like a biography.

but more of a fly on the wall. The narrator doesn't know the thoughts
and feelings of the characters but only sees what is happening
- Third person limited omniscient: similar to the third person
observer; this person isn't a character, but instead an observer, and
this narrative viewpoint shows us the thoughts of only one character
- Third person omniscient: the narrator is privy to
the thoughts and feelings of all characters
- First person major character: here, the story is
told through the viewpoint of the protagonist
- Tone: think of the way in which the narrator presents
the written work. Is it particularly formal or informal?
Amused or disdainful? Humble or pretentious? etc.
- First person minor character: a character who is not
the main focus is telling the story, like a biography.
