Text That Borrows a Structure from Nature - Texts like these are written to follow some natural structure that exists in the universe.  Often, these universal structures are chronological in nature, so they help establish time movement in the texts-days of the week, months of the year, season, etc. - but not always.  Writers may also borrow stages of a cycle for text structures (Wondrous Words by Katie Wood Ray).
