What is an exposition?
Well, according to dictionary.com,
exposition is the act of expounding, setting forth, or explaining, also applicable to writing or speech primarily intended to convey information or to explain; a detailed statement or explanation; explanatory treatise.
Exposition is one of four rhetotical modes of discourse, along with argumentation, description, and narration. The purpose of exposition is to inform, explain, analyze, or define.
Within the context of fiction, exposition is the mode by which information is conveyed. The information presented may be in the form of facts, explanation, or opinion and may be used for a variety of purposes, including the development of plot, character, setting, and theme.
Anyway, that's about all there is to say about exposition, for now anyway. XD
