Project 2

Introduction
Audience, the readers who are the ones judging and getting influenced by the writers work. Without an audience there would be no reason for anyone to put any effort into their text. Whether you just want to write for fun, persuasive or even informational the reader is always going to be the largest influence there is. There can not be a persuasive essay written for an informational type of reader. As we start school introduced to writing being just another letter grade. The only audience we are introduced to is the one person that reads it. Another way to help is by allowing students to read each others papers and write a peer response on how they think the text was and to say who the type of audience was intended for. We also start to realize that every teacher is different on how they think writing should be done. Teachers influence us to how they think is wrong or right, but there is no wrong or right way to write just how influencial it can be to the reader. As we get older and we experience the different points of views of right ways of writing there are and put them all together. So we have all these theories in the back of our head but can't do anything about it since that specific teacher is only one type of audience. I want to know why do we get only one type of audience when we start to learn how to write?

Lit Review
The sources I gathered explain that there are different ways a writer can get influenced by a reader. Explaining that the reasoon they are writing is just to receive a letter grade. So students don't get the full understanding of a self-reflective essay. "Most writing in composition classes, however, is pseudotransactional: while students are asked to consider audience, purpose, and appropriate persona, which seem to be rhetorical concerns, assignments often pose hypothetical cases while serving primarily as occasions for grading" When we are in school we can not go past what is expected of us to do. We are in this little world that won't allow us to expand and relate to the audience like we would hope to because of the limitations we are set to. When a writer will write, they take everything into consideration, being the readers already looking at their work as a bad thing or people are already on the same page as them.


The connection I have between the sources and my topic are very close. The audience being the entire reason and influence I have when I write can either be for the better or give me a difficult time putting it all together. A writer can not make every type of audience happy or understand the intention behind the writer's reasons. All of the articles I chose are very close to my theory of that a writer can write to a specific audience but he will not only be influenced by the thoughts of the people who already have the same relations with the topic but try to see into the people who have the complete opposite opinion in the matter. Both audiences will have the same amount of influence but to be able to write to both will be difficult because the wording of the text can not be too much they have fall in the the audience they intend to write to and the all the rest.
