Evidence of learning

I can

“Wipe out all Jews.” This informs the reader a little about events that took place before the capture and trail of Adolf Eichmann. This is also another form of author's craft; it uses Adolf Eichmans perspective. This is a useful text structure because it gives the reader another view of the story/topic. It is also useful because it will not bias the reader because they only know the story from 1 side, and this text feature prevents this from happening/

Text Structures

Neal Bascomb uses an array of text structures, for example, on page 000 he uses prior events to connect with the current events, he does this by Adolf Eichmann talking about what happened during World War 2 which was before the capture of Adolf Eichmann, but he talks about how Adolf Hitler told him to elimate all the Jews, and that he was just following orders like a normal soldier. Another example of the text structures he uses is on page 000 when the reader transitions from how life was during the holocaust to after World War 2 and the hunt for Adolf Eichmann.
