Read the following three paragraphs, and 1) figure out what spacial order each paragraph follows; 2) explain the structure of each paragraph according to what you have learned about paragraph in the first unit. Example 1 My grandfather’s barn was in a deplorable condition. Its roof sagging, its red paint flaking away, its windows shattered, its great central door hanging on one hinge, it stood abandoned on the prairie. On the left as we entered, we could barely make out the remains of the horse stalls. On the right, where saddles and bridles used to gleam on the wall, hung only an occasional torn and stiffened shred of leather. To the rear of the barn, we could see only rusted implements scattered aimlessly on the floor. Looking up as we turned to leave, only occasional wisps of hay reminded us of the fun we used to have playing in the loft. Example 2 As I entered the bright, cheerful space, with its beige walls and light grey carpet, I noticed a closet to my right with the door open. On the shelf above the bunched-together clothes were a red baseball cap, a fielder’s glove, and a battered brown gym bag. Turning from the closet, I noticed a single bed with its wooden headboard against the far wall. The bedspread was a brown, orange, and beige print of basketball, football, and baseball scenes. A lamp shaped like a baseball and a copy of Sports Illustrated were on the top of a nightstand to the left of the bed. A sports schedule and several yellowing newspaper clippings were tacked to the cork bulletin board on the wall above the nightstand. A desk with a bookcase top stood against the left wall. I walked toward it to examine it more closely. As I ran my fingers over the items on the dusty shelves, I noticed some tarnished medals and faded ribbons for track accomplishments. These lay next to a heavy gold trophy that read,“MVP: Pinewood Basketball.”I accidentally tipped an autograph-covered, slightly deflated basketball off one shelf, and the ball bounced with dull thuds across the width of the room. Next to the desk was a window with brightly printed curtains that matched the bedspread. Between the window and the left corner stood a dresser with one drawer half open, revealing a tangle of odd sweat socks and a few stretched-out T-shirts emblazoned with team insignias. As I turned to leave the room, I carefully picked my way around scattered pairs of worn-out sneakers. Example 3 The pet shop in the mall is a depressing place. A display window attracts passerby who stare at the prisoners penned inside. In the right-hand side of the window, two puppies press their forepaws against the glass and attempt to lick the human hands that press from the outside. A cardboard barrier separates the dogs from several black and white kittens piled together in the opposite end of the window. Inside the shop, rows of wire cages line one wall from top to bottom. At first, it is hard to tell whether a bird, cat, or dog is locked inside each cage. Only an occasional movement or clawing, shuffling sound tells visitors that living creatures are inside. Running down the center of the store is a line of large wooden perches that look like coat racks. When customers pass by, the parrots chained to these perches flutter their clipped wings in a useless attempt to escape. At the end of this center aisle is a large plastic tub of dirty, stagnant-looking water containing a few motionless turtles. The shelves against the left-hand wall are packed with all kinds of pet-related items. The smell inside the entire shop is an unpleasant mixture of strong chemical deodorizers, urine-soaked newspapers, and musty sawdust.
