In this excerpt from charles dickens’s a child’s history of england, which element indicates that the text’s purpose is to inform children?
if you look at a map of the world, you will see, in the left-hand upper corner of the eastern hemisphere, two islands lying in the sea. they are england and scotland, and ireland. england and scotland form the greater part of these islands. ireland is the next in size. the little neighbouring islands, which are so small upon the map as to be mere dots, are chiefly little bits of scotland,—broken off, i dare say, in the course of a great length of time, by the power of the restless water.
in the old days, a long, long while ago, before our saviour was born on earth and lay asleep in a manger, these islands were in the same place, and the stormy sea roared round them, just as it roars now. but the sea was not alive, then, with great ships and brave sailors, sailing to and from all parts of the world. it was very lonely. the islands lay solitary, in the great expanse of water. the foaming waves dashed against their cliffs, and the bleak winds blew over their forests; but the winds and waves brought no adventurers to land upon the islands, and the savage islanders knew nothing of the rest of the world, and the rest of the world knew nothing of them.
a.
the description of how the islands broke apart
b.
the presentation of facts mixed with opinions
c.
the addition of basic information about the islands
