This document defines and describes hortatory exposition text. It is a type of text that presents arguments to support a position or opinion. The purpose is to persuade the reader that something should or should not be the case. A hortatory exposition includes a thesis statement announcing the issue, arguments providing reasons for the position, and a recommendation stating what should or should not be done based on the arguments. It uses language features like a focus on the writer's perspective, action verbs, modal adverbs, temporal connectives, and emotive words. The key difference from analytical exposition is that hortatory exposition ends with a recommendation rather than a reiteration.
