Writing skill appreciation

On the surface, this is an expository essay which explains what a quick fix society is. However, the purpose of the essay is neither t define nor to classify. Its purpose is to persuade Americans to return to life in the slow lane. The patterns of exposition are used to argue and persuade. The writer chiefly uses the following five patterns to develop the central idea of her essay. 

  1. Comparison and contrast

  2. Definition

  3. Exemplification

  4. Rhetorical questions

  5. Repetition (repetition of sentence structures and of words)
