Could someone please help me with this?Pick which pattern type this paragraph has.
"The art of letter writing seems to have declined sharply in recent years. Perhaps the rising cost of stationery and postage is a factor. Most people today are so busy with their jobs, their families, and their hobbies that they do not feel they have time to write letters. To a certain extent, television and personal computers have replaced communicating with friends as a form of entertainment. The advent of the telephone and the use of e-mail, however, are probably the most significant factor in the decrease of letter writing, because they give instant access to friends and loved ones."

El Olvido

BY JUDITH ORTIZ COFER

It is a dangerous thing
to forget the climate of your birthplace,
to choke out the voices of dead relatives
when in dreams they call you
by your secret name.
It is dangerous
to spurn the clothes you were born to wear
for the sake of fashion; dangerous
to use weapons and sharp instruments
you are not familiar with; dangerous
to disdain the plaster saints
before which your mother kneels
praying with embarrassing fervor
that you survive in the place you have chosen to live:
a bare, cold room with no pictures on the walls,
a forgetting place where she fears you will die
of loneliness and exposure.
Jesús, María, y José, she says,
el olvido is a dangerous thing.
*El olvido means forgetfulness in Spanish.
