What is the method of development of this paragraph?

A computer is a machine used to store and manage information. Modern computers consist of a hard drive for storing software and digital files, a central processing unit for reading and processing the software and files, and a user interface (usually a screen, keyboard and mouse) for allowing the user to interact with the software and files. Modern computers have many uses, including word processing, image and video editing, digital drawing and painting, animation and information searching. Through the Internet, a system connecting computers all over the planet, computers allow users to access information of all kinds in all manner of languages. Computers increase the power of human beings to gather, generate and make use of information

What is the method of development of this paragraph?

I learned early on in life that being naughty is not fun for long. At the time, I lived with my family in a newly developed part of North Vancouver. There were plenty of houses around, but there were also patches of woodland and bush. We children loved to disappear into the trees and play exciting or even violent games based on TV shows and novels we were exposed to. One day I went in with my friend Patrick. There were only the two of us. Somehow we started throwing rocks out of the bush and over onto the road. One of our rocks hit a passing car on the roof. The driver stopped and looked down the path to where we stood somewhere between mirth and dread. We started to run down another path, but he drove up to where that path met the road. We ran back the other way and he backed up to cut us off. He rolled down his window and scolded us. We were terrified. Then he drove off. Neither of us was laughing now. Once I got over the shock of nearly being caught by an angry stranger, I thought about why he was angry and decided that throwing rocks blindly in any direction was neither smart nor nice.

What is the method of development of this paragraph?

I have four brothers, but I am closest to my second brother, Jonathon. That is because we are similar in many ways. However, we are also different in many ways.

We both look a lot like our father, but Jon is better looking than I am. We are both muscular, because we lift weights, but Jon is taller than I am. We both sing, but I write songs and play guitar while Jon does not write songs or play a musical instrument. We both speak foreign languages, including French, but Jon speaks Italian while I speak Russian and Mandarin. We both live in foreign countries, but Jon lives in Abu Dhabi while I live in Taiwan. We both teach, but Jon teaches English literature while I teach English language.

My brother and I have many things in common, but we are not the same in every way. We have similar talents and interests, but we have followed different paths

What is the method of development of this paragraph?

On Thursday there was a big earthquake. The earthquake broke many things. It broke my piggy bank.

The earth shook and that made our building jump. When the building jumped, it made my desk jump. When my desk jumped, it made my piggy bank jump. When my piggy bank jumped, it also moved across the desk. When it moved to the edge of the desk, it fell to the floor. Because the floor was harder and heavier than my piggy bank and my piggy bank was heavy and moving fast, when my piggy bank hit the floor, it broke.

Many things happened to make my piggy bank fall on the floor, but all those things were caused by the earthquake. So that the next earthquake doesn’t break my piggy bank, I will put my new piggy bank on a folded towel, which will stop it from jumping across the desk and falling on the floor.
