_{"In some situations of intense hostility between groups, the problem is “solved” by removing the minority from the scene altogether. In 1972, for example, the entire Asian population was ordered to leave the African country of Uganda, in which they had lived for generations. In a few cases, population transfer may involve outright partition of a territory. "}

Which writing pattern (Rhetorical Pattern) is represented below?"Some flat characters are immediately recognizable as stock characters.

The clown's short yellow hair, made of yarn, covers its ears but is parted above the eyes. The blue eyes are outlined in black with thin, dark lashes flowing from the brows. It has cherry-red cheeks, nose, and lips, and its broad grin disappears into the wide, white ruffle around its neck."

_{"It is fairly easy to cook a delicious apple cobbler. First, you will need to have at least two cups of apples on hand, and they should be peeled and sliced into thin crescent shapes. Almost any type of apple will do--either red delicious or granny style or whatever your local grocery store offers. Next, you will need about one half cup of sugar for extra added sweetness. Either white granulated sugar or brown refined will work equally well. (I have used both kinds with the same success.) Finally, about two sticks of butter or two pounds of margarine will be necessary to give the cobbler that lip-smacking smoothness that my family just loves.}
