Baldwin uses numbered headings as text structures to organize his article Briefly summarize what is covered in each numbered part Why are these divisions logical?

Answer 1

Baldwin uses numbered headlines to structures and organize this article. Summary of the headlines:

1. In the first section, the writer describes the Titanic in all its majesty and why it was considerable unsinkable. He focuses on the journey before it hit the iceberg. Alongside, he informs us of how the ship had been warned many times about the ice ahead and they hadn’t taken the warnings very seriously.
2. In the second section, the writer focuses on the events that follow after the Titanic hits the iceberg. The efforts of the crew to prevent the tragedy, the disbelief followed by the chaos, and the final sinking of the ship inform the bulk of the section.
3. Section 3 focuses on the aftermath: the ones who went down with the ship, the others who were in the boats and the feeble rescue attempts by other ships (too late).
4. Section 4 focuses on how the enormity of the disaster only began to strike a few days later. The Californian brought the survivors to New York.
5. In section 5, we are informed about the investigations that follow and the knowledge that surfaced due to it.

These divisions are logical because they followed the Titanic’s journey chronologically from its maiden voyage up until its sinking and the investigations that follow. The different stages of the tragedy which otherwise would have been very haphazard are neatly organized.
