Why Read the Classics #5

Essay organization is important in writing. It keeps the story in line and helps make the essay effective. There are a many different types of essay organization. Chronological organization, climactic organization, topical organization, and spatial organization are some options of essay organization. After reading through all the descriptions I found two that could fit the great essay Why Read The Classics. I found topical and spatial organization could both fit. Topical organizations based on the topic being written about. Each point leads back to the main topic. It could fit this essay because each quote leads back to why it is important to read the classics. The other option for essay organization that could fit Why Read the Classics is spatial organization. It is used for many purposes for example descriptions and narrations. I thought this would fit Why Read the Classics because after each detentions for reading classics Calvino explains why it is a definition. In the end I decided this essay was arranged by spatial organization. This is a informational essay the describes why we should read certain novels. He gives fourteen definitions and after each one gives proof why this is a reason we should read classics. Some people will probably not agree but I found this essay spatially organized.
