Multiple Choice

Choose the appropriate letter or letters to identify the organizational pattern or patterns of each reading. Many people have had first-hand experience with writer's block, but many don't realize that the opposite extreme of writer's block is a condition called hypergraphia (from the prefix hyper- , meaning "excessive, increased, or above normal," and the root word graph , meaning "to write") .A person in the grip of hypergraphia is consumed by the overwhelming, unstoppable urge to write, so he or she writes constantly on anything available-paper, napkins, walls, even skin.Harvard Medical School neurologist Alice Flaherty, for example, describes in her book The Midnight Disease how, for four months, she filled Post-it notes with writing and then stuck them all over her home.Some of literature's most prolific authors and artists, too, were possessed by hypergraphia.Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson wrote his six thousand-word Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde in just six days.Vincent van Gogh wrote three six-page letters to his brother Theo every day and, at times, painted a new canvas every thirty-six hours.American poet Sylvia Plath was a hypergraphic writer who fever-ishly poured her thoughts onto page after page of her journals.Other famous authors with hypergraphia include Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Joyce Carol Oates, and Franz Kafka.
