The author’s choice of structure helped me as a reader because it made it easier to see the differences and similarities between the things being discussed. By comparing Phelps’ wingspan to the Vitruvian Man and showing how humans are different from our primate ancestors, I could understand how unique humans can be. This structure helped me remember the information better and think about how different factors, like size and evolution, play a role in what makes us who we are.
In the article “Perfectly Imperfect” by Donna Bozzone, the text structure is compare and contrast. I identified this when the author compared Michael Phelps with Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man when she said: “Like the Vitruvian Man, most people have a wingspan roughly the same as their height. Phelps’ wingspan is 6 feet 7 inches, three inches longer than his height.” Another example of compare and contrast is when she compares humans to our primate, for example, the author says this: “Humans’ primate ancestors grew bigger jaws than we do, because they ate tougher foods. Now our teeth are crowded.” The author’s choice of structure helped me as a reader because
