Its social function is to convince the reader that the topic presented is an important topic to discuss.
Structure of analytical exposition text
Analytical exposition text consists of:
1. Thesis
In this part of the thesis, the writer must tell the reader about the main topic he is going to write about. Thesis can always be found in the first paragraph of the text. In this section, readers can also see why the author gives an opinion on the topic.
2. Arguments
In the next paragraph, you will find the arguments section. The author will write an opinion to support the main topic that has been presented previously. Usually in analytical exposition there are more than two arguments. The more arguments presented, the more readers will believe that the topic discussed is an important topic or requires attention.
3. Reiteration/Conclusion
This section is always located at the end of the text and becomes the closing paragraph of the article. Reiteration contains reaffirmation of the author's position and opinion on the main topic.
