Final answer:
The passage is organized in chronological order, as indicated by the references to a sequential arrangement of information in the provided excerpts.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how the passage is organized, we need to identify the structure indicated by certain keywords and phrases from the provided excerpts. It seems that the passage is organized in chronological order, which is evident from references to starting with 'the beginning of the novel, story, play, or poem, and working your way toward its end' and describing 'event descriptive essays' as 'chronologically describe an event from the past or from the future'.
This suggests that the information is arranged according to a time sequence.
Additionally, the fact that the author may work 'sequentially' or by addressing 'one text and then the other' reinforces the idea that the organization follows a chronological pattern.
