CRITICAL LITERACY (JOURNAL ENTRY)

READING 5.3, GROUP 10 (TYPES OF EXPOSITION: “PERSUADING THAT” AND PERSUADING TO”)
Group 10, Tixxs and Shima had present about types of exposition. Their presentation is quite okay although they are a little bit nervous. However, still they can answer the entire question that has been asked by others members. Well, from the discussion, there are three types of exposition. First is Analytical and Hortatory exposition that is the focal elements of an exposition, second is reasoning in exposition which is used to explain why and must state the reason. Last is personality in exposition that is used to express attitudes and feelings. In expository writing, metaphor is typically found.

READING 5.4, GROUP 11 (METAPHOR)
Group 11, had present about metaphor. These groups have three presenters, however only Mariam that presents this topic. I don’t know what happened to the other two members. But, I’m proud of Mariam, because she managed to control the entire situation although she’s alone. Honestly, I don’t understand what Mariam was discussed last day. There are a few key term that I can’t understand such as metaphor in diacourse, the container metaphor and metaphor in ‘nukespeak’. I’m confused with the word nukespeak, what it is really about. When I asked Mariam, she’s can’t answer it because she’s also don’t understand.
