Contrast and Compare:
A few hundred years ago, America was a frontier for the Europeans. The plains were vast and rolling, the food plentiful, and horizons limitless. Fast-forward to today. We now have a new ‘frontier’ to explore. It’s not space, however, as Star Trek would have you believe. The human race is about to begin a new life in the ocean.
Rhetorical:
How do you solve the world’s environmental and over-population problems? By building an underwater complex. That may be a little over-dramatic, but with enough work, it could be possible/plausible.
Direct Address:
You’ve always wanted to live underwater. And now you finally have the chance. There are currently plans to build an underwater living complex. Soon you will be able to move under the surface of the sea. You can swim with fish, and farm seaweed. We hope you enjoy it.
My favorite by far is the contrast and compare. The other two are good, but I feel that the rhetorical one, just doesn't hook the reader. Keep up the good work, though.
ReplyDeleteCompare/Contrast is the best. The Direct Address follows in second.
ReplyDeleteI like these! All of them! They are all similar enough, but different types of leads!
