An ascetic is a person who devotes his or her life to self-discipline. An ascetic does this by living an extremely simple life. For example, an ascetic will deny him or herself normal pleasures of life. What most people cannot live without, like the Internet or television, the ascetic gives up easily. Ascetics believe that the mind and body need to change through control. They exercise a control of bodily actions, speech, and thoughts. Although some might view asceticism as negative, those who practice it find peace in it. In addition, having a control of one's senses gives a person satisfaction. Ascetics experience a greater peace of mind than the average people. 7 How does the organizational structure of the passage support the author's purpose? A.
