Identity whether the following paragraph is a narrative, persuasive, descriptive, or expository paragraph. It was July 21, 1969, and Neil Armstrong awoke with a start. It was the day he would become the first human being to
ever walk on the moon. The journey had begun several days earlier, when on July 16th, the Apollo 11 launched from
Earth headed into outer space. On board with Neil Armstrong were Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin. The crew landed
on the moon in the Sea of Tranquility a day before the actual walk. Upon Neil's first step onto the moon's surface, he
declared, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." It sure was!
O Narrative
Descriptive
• Expository
Persuasive

I would say expository because narratives are more personal and creative whilst expository essays are based on facts and evidence.

Explanation:

"The expository essay is a genre of essay that requires the student to investigate an idea, evaluate evidence, expound on the idea, and set forth an argument concerning that idea in a clear and concise manner".

"When writing a narrative essay, one might think of it as telling a story. These essays are often experiential, and personal—allowing students to express themselves in a creative and, quite often, moving ways.".

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
