| Summary | "Expository Writing" by Mervin James Curl is a guide on the principles of expository writing, likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores the nature of exposition, detailing methods and strategies for effectively communicating ideas clearly and engagingly. It focuses on how writers can answer readers' questions and foster interest and understanding through thoughtful organization and presentation. The opening of the text lays a foundational understanding of exposition, emphasizing its significance as a vehicle for clear communication in literature and life. Curl discusses how exposition seeks to address the insatiable curiosity of individuals about their world, framing it as essential in explaining concepts, machinery, and even human interactions. He stresses the importance of making writing interesting and relatable, outlining that effective exposition must satisfy readers intellectually while also stimulating their emotions. Curl's arguments set the stage for a comprehensive exploration of how to write compelling expository prose that resonates with audiences. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
