Karina Scoliere Chapter One

Through the Chapter one reading, a lot of ideas popped into my head. They mostly were things like, "I never knew there was a mode or a media or that they were different things." I also was glad the book reviewed the three rhetorical appeals, because there is never to much explanation of those in my opinion. I honestly enjoyed reading "Kristen LaCroix's Project on Drug Advertising" because it gave a real life example and connected it to everything I just read. Jumping to the beginning of the chapter, my favorite part is found there. Genre is something that I did not think about to much until now. I thought it was weird to step back and think that the genre that we write in is mostly because of the time we are living in or what we know. For example, Annie L. Burton wrote a memoir and not a blog like I am writing write now. Also, it is possible that if she reviewed someone's work she would write to them and send it in a letter unlike what I will be doing and posting right away to one of my classmates writing. That was definitely the best part. Although, the genre and where we write now is different, the purpose is always the same: to reach the audience that you want to. This is what I can appreciate about writing is that it connects people from all different era's.
