Chapter 1 Summarize Chapter one was about how the author uses different modes in the text to kind of guide the reader to where the author wants him to be. The following things were pointed out in the text are purpose, audience, rhetorical appeals and modes and media. Purpose is why the author wrote it for example is he or she trying to convince, inform or entertain. Audience is whose attention you are trying to capture. Rhetorical appeals are the method you approach the audience. Not all of writing pieces have this characteristic. Mode and media is how the author gives its audience the form. The author can have pictures or not. Respond I feel as if this chapter has opened the way I see the new texts. I now know that I can tell that just by skimming through the text and later going into depth about what will be important. Reflect The question I will be reflecting on is “How does the author capture and sustain audience attention?”. This question intrigues’ me because to have a person not zone out then you must write about something that either you clearly explain to something you know the audience likes. Therefore, it is important to know your audience. Chapter 2 Summarize Chapter two talks about genres. Genres is another form that an author speaks to the reader. This chapter covers genres that grab people’s attention. It is not just the genre but also how the author gives out the context. The author can use visuals to grab the readers attention. For example, if the genre was about a comic book then that would be a unique style than when writing and autobiography. In a comic cook you can design the pages to go with the story. Respond This chapter has that paying attention to different writer’s genres than that can help you when you write a paper yourself. If I see different perspectives, then maybe I can find my groove or what type of writing is best for me. Reflect The question I will be reflecting on is, “How do words and visuals and other media work together in the genre, physically?”. Words connect the genre because that is what brings the context into the piece of writing. Visuals are a bonus when reading because let’s say you are reading a blog and the author says that they went to Haiti and they spoke about how beautiful the view going up the Citadelle looked. It would be nice if the blogger shows pictures to show and let the readers see what the author is talking about. Drik Summarize This was about an author trying to tell us as students the just of what we can do to create a genre. To do that then we must know a little about the genre. The first example used was country music. If one was to write a song or poem or anything about country music then they should know that country music can have a story to it, characters describes, or it can be about politics. Respond Either way knowing different genres can help a writer find their sort of give you a groove of what you might want to be writing about. Reflect The questions I will be reflecting on are “What is the purpose? Who is the audience? How much freedom do you have? How does the location affect the genre?”. These questions get me to thinking about a writing paper we have to do for this class because it can help when brainstorming.
