Text Analysis

 

I. Genre: This is a piece of expository writing.

The purpose of expository writing is to explain or to give the reader information to help him understand the world around him. The language used is a little formal，with impersonal structures，long sentences and formal words，which are typical of academic writing．

Stylistic Feature: long sentences  formal words  impersonal structures

II.. Theme of the text

In this essay the two authors discuss the definition of history, the role of the historians and the reasons why historians disagree. (It should be noted that although this essay is about why historians differ in their opinions, actually the basic views can also be used to explain why people disagree generally．And to understand why people disagree is the first necessary step toward learning to deal with them．This is particularly important today because We are confronted with an information explosion and surrounded by people who are trying to influence our thinking for their own selfish reasons.)
