Repurposing a Writing Taxonomy
Captions available
The idea
The mode names still answer the useful question of what a passage is doing, so this course uses them as a reading tool. What it does not do is pretend the chapters were built for that. Knowing a source's purpose is part of using it honestly.
In practice
A writer's taxonomy, read backwards.
Where people slip
The repurposing is disclosed, not hidden.
