A) PATTERN OF ORGANIZATION
1. Simple Listing
Louis [XIV] was not a stupid man; he was handsome and lazy. Madame de Pompadour was his
most celebrated mistress; she was not the only one. Apart from women, be had few interests and no
desire to 'waste" his energies on projects he deemed relatively unimportant. His kind, dull wife
bore him ten children in hardly more than ten years, but she could never hold his attention. Women
were his great diversion. One followed another. The post of "king's head mistress" became the most
coveted in the realm. Father sought it for their daughters, husbands for their wives. A favorite
mistress, like Madame de Pompadour or Madame du Barry (c. 1746-1793), wielded power. To offend
such a person might be to risk the monarch's wrath. (A History of the Western World by Solomon
Modell.)
2. Description
Sunset is the time of day when our sky meets the outer space solar winds. There are blue,
pink, and purple swirls, spinning and twisting, like clouds of balloons caught in a whirlwind. The
sun moves slowly to hide behind the line of horizon, while the moon races to take its place in
prominence atop the night sky. People slow to a crawl, entranced, fully forgetting the deeds that
must still be done. There is a coolness, a calmness, when the sun does set.
3. Definition
Life is the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter,
including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change
preceding death
5. Comparison-Contrast
There is a growing controversy over the use of drugs in sports. Denny McLain, pitcher for
the Detroit Tigers, claims that he needs pep pills or something to keep him going, especially when
he is expected to be good 162 ball games a year. However, Dr. William H. Fowler, Jr. of the UCLA
medical school claims that studies show there is no increase in strength, motor performance, or
vital capacities. (Theodore Irwin, "Doping Athletes," Parade, September 6, 1978.)
