Which type of organizational pattern is used in the following passage? One thing about having a twin sister is that you never really have a birthday that is all your own. On our last birthday my parents said my sister and I should have different birthday cakes. That sounded like a good idea! My sister’s cake was chocolate with pink frosting but mine was marble with vanilla frosting. Even our candles were different although we both had nine candles. Mine were blue trick candles that kept lighting back up when I blew them out. My sister’s red candles were really tall and skinny so she let them burn for a long time. Along the sides of my cake there were tiny M&Ms marching all around the cake. My sister had rainbow sprinkles on her cake, not on the sides, but on the top. It sure was fun to have our own cakes!
