  1. The Arrow of Time By K. C. Cole

  2. Part 1 (p.1-2) : The introduction: I realized the triumph of entropy. Part 2 (p.3-7): The definition and features of entropy Part 3 (p. 8-12): Exceptions to entropy and energy is needed for order. Part 4 (p.13-17): Why there should be entropy. Text Organization

  3. Exemplification : to give examples to prove your point---how many examples does the author list? Definitions--- How does the author define things? Writing skill

  4. How do I realized that entropy was getting better of me? How many examples does the author list? Car—fridge—tooth—windows---baby-sitter---hair---typewriter---house---son’s sneakers---and I myself Part 1 (p.1-2) : The introduction: I realized the triumph of entropy.

  5. What is entropy? P.3: It is a precise measure of the amount of disorder. P.4: It is the arrow of time.----How does the author depict the arrow of time? (Examples) P.5: Entropy is the waste of energy and the loss of opportunity. P.6: Entropy is chaos and loss of purpose. P.7: Entropy is all around in our life or world. Part 2 (p.3-7): The definition and features of entropy

  6. P. 8-9: There are exceptions to entropy. What are they? P.10-12: It takes energy or effort to produce exceptions to entropy. There is always a price to be paid. How does the author exemplify that? By what examples? Part 3 (p. 8-12): Exceptions to entropy and energy is needed for order.

  7. P. 13: What is the mechanic of entropy? ---pay attention to the wording which adds to the impossibility of the chances P. 14: Why does entropy win? P. 15: What are the possible entropies in our real life? P.16: How can we prevent entropy? P.17: Irreversibility is the price we paid for complexity. Part 4 (p.13-17): Why there should be entropy.
