a) In your own words, what are the four writing types?
The four writing types are Descriptive, expository, persuasive, and Narrative. Each one is unique and is used differently. Descriptive is when you are describing something in great detail with elevated language and using the five senses while writing and describing things like rain air sound etc. The second one, expository is giving you the straight facts and numbers, not using opinion. It is a more informative way of writing like something that happened in the past that is something that happened as an event, for example, the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It Is not opinion and something that took place in the real world. The third one is persuasive, which is the opposite of the second and is all opinion not based on facts and numbers. It usually is a writing type that includes suggestions and idea that the writer wants you to agree with them on and wants you to make a move usually and act on what the writer has an opinion about. The fourth and last one is Narrative, where there is a story being told fiction or non-fiction and has a setting, action, and character.
b) After reading the comic, “Represent,” by Christian Cooper, which writing type would this be categorized under?
I would say that this comic by Christian cooper would be categorized under Narrative and, expository. I think that this comic has these two writing types because it is a story and has a setting action, and a character, which makes it narrative. I also said expository because the story/comic includes events that have happened in the past and are not an opinion but an actual fact for example that George Floyd died from a police officer on his neck and couldn’t breathe for almost nine minutes.
c) What is the comic showing us?
The comic is showing us how many people get stereotyped and that many people judge people by the color of there skin or their clothes without even listening to them an use the advantage of the disadvantage of the other person like in the book where the woman said she would cause the young black male that he was threatening her to the police and she has an advantage cause some might just arrest him right away without even hearing him talk.
