    Global sentence Authors are renown for capturing their reading
    audiences in the expositions of their texts.

    Lowry that reveals this narrative is set in a very strict,
    controlled community and conveys a caution against
    totalitarian governments.
    Thesis statement The ideas explored in this text are that propaganda is
    used to control ‘The Community’, that information,
    independent thought and freedom are restricted and
    the idea that citizens are living a dehumanised existence
    under a totalitarian government.
    Expanding sentence These ideas have been conveyed through the use of
    foreshadowing, characterisation and setting
    respectively.

    Concluding sentence The way these ideas are conveyed in the exposition
    indicates some of the bleak aspects of a totalitarian
    government.

    Conclusion

    effects of living under a totalitarian government.

    How did the creator The text highlights how language is manipulated using
    do it? / Thesis
