Reading 5.3

The reading which is ‘Types of exposition: “persuading that” and “persuading to” were presented by Shima and Tyxx. Their presentation looked like “okey” from the beginning until the end but in my thinking there is something wrong about the truth of their content. I’m quite confused whether what they told us is really true, closely true, wrong or totally wrong. Thus, this topic described exposition with two types. Actually, exposition is one type of text.

They are ‘analytical’ and ‘hortatory’ expositions. Analytical functioning to persuade the recipient that something is true, while hortatory try to persuade the recipient to do something. After that, analytical expositions very related with academic speaking and writing compare to hortatory expositions that often used in political speeches, letters to the editor and office memos designed to change employee behavior.
