Answer Justification

Points: Wager:

Text Structure NotesA text's structure reveals how an author organizes a text.

Authors use cause and effect structure to show how two events are linked: a cause brings about an effect.

Example: Observing his corpse being robbed causes Scrooge to become more charitable.

Authors use comparison and contrast identify the similarities (comparisons) and differences (contrasts) of two or more subjects.

Example: While Scrooge and Marley both lead greedy lives, Scrooge ultimately chooses to exhibit charity and compassion whereas Marley died a miser.

Text Structure NotesA question and answer structure occurs when the author poses a question and proceeds to answer that question with an argument.

Example: Why does Scrooge convey greed? Perhaps poverty in his childhood caused his miserly behavior as an adult.

A topic and supporting details occurs when the author provides different topics (usually headings) and argues each topic with a evidence.

Example: Heading: Scrooge's Internal Conflict. While visiting his past, Scrooge desires to speak with his clerk, yet when provided with the opportunity, he shivers.

Text Structure NotesSequential order is a pattern of organization that shows the order of steps or stages in a process. It may also show how a subject changes over time.

Example: Originally, Scrooge denied the Gentleman money; however, he provided the Gentleman with a donation at the play's end.
