"Why Read the Classics?" #5

Functional, logical, chronological, and spacial are the four terms that come to mind when talking about the organization of one's essay. Organizing is important to do when writing an essay. It helps with the flow of the essay and makes it easier for the readers to comprehend the theme. I believe that Italo Calvino organized his essay "Why Read the Classics?" using logical organization. I believe this because he is using logic to inform the readers. He is using logic by giving many definitions. Here are just a few examples of definitions in the essay: "9. Classics are books which, the more we think we know them through hearsay, the more original, unexpected, and innovative we find them when we actually read them.", "10. A classic is the term given to any book which comes to represent the whole universe, a book on a par with ancient talismans.", and "12. A classic is a work that comes before other classics; but those who have read other classics first immediately recognise its place in the genealogy of classic works." Because all of these definitions in Calvino's writing, these leads me to choose that he used logical organization when writing this essay.
