Introduction
The ability to write a cogent, fair, and harmonic piece depends on several factors. Analysis of how these components were used in the readings The Nature of Things: Biomimicry, Do not Sink My Battleship! and Razzle Dazzle! Fashion ‘Stars’ – in Stripes will aid in determining how vital these components are for writing. All three authors use the author’s goal, discipline-specific language, and organization in their articles.
Element 1: Author’s Purpose
In the first reading, the author’s purpose is to analyze historical data to logically prove that the development of masks came from the natural world (Hogler). In the second reading, the author’s goal is to inform the reader about how using stripes in camouflage has led to a new fashion in clothing (Razzle Dazzle! Fashion ‘Stars’ – in Stripes). In the third reading, the author aims to inform the reader about the intermediate link in this chain of events (Don’t Sink My Battleship!). All of the authors attempt to state the main goal clearly.
Element 2: Discipline-Specific Language
Authors not only use the author’s purpose, but they also apply the discipline-specific language. In the first reading, the author uses some elements from the twentieth century for inspiration. In the second reading, the topics are presented with an enthusiastic for the reader and an informative tone. The third reading uses a specific theonomy related to the terminology associated with the practical application of camouflage. All works use a peculiar style without deviating from journalism and scientific style.
Element 3: Organization
Furthermore, the first reading provides an argument supporting the author’s opinion, then examples and tools that the reader can use in practice, and the organization is well used. The second reading is organized around a descriptive approach and examines the issue from the point of view of a non-academic author. In the third reading, the author organizes the text using comparison and narration, provides arguments and historical facts, and general structures the work well.All authors use organization and structural clarity well, which is best shown here.
Conclusion
Authors of The Nature of Things: Biomimicry, Razzle Dazzle! Fashion ‘Stars’ – in Stripes and Do not Sink My Battleship! qualitatively use the author’s goal, discipline-specific language, and organization of writing to communicate their ideas to readers. All three works form a standard narrative about the history of camouflage’s emergence, use, and consequences. From plants and animals hiding from danger to the warships of the First World War and, eventually, to the windows of fashion boutiques, such authors see the history of camouflage.
