Free-write
Genre
and audience are as connected as PB and J. Even that sentence was totally
cliché in the most embarrassing in terms of just a cliché. Generally, the genre
can define the audience and the audience can define the genre depending on what
the topic is. Genre affects the audience by the type of audience that would
typically read the type of genre. A research paper for example, usually only
have people interested in science such as scientists, professors, or students.
A regular everyday person would not typically be interested in a paper behind
the discovery of an RNA molecule. On the contrary, audience has every effect on
genre, as the writer must to the audience using a certain genre to effectively
write. An audience from a council of the school board typically will not see an
informal writing say to a friend. This writing requires a more formal genre
such as a position paper. In any sense of the actually ideas of genre and audience, both are interrelated in the terms of what we believe the two concepts are related into. I just hope that if anyone actually reads this blog beyond my English class, they understand that even a student as myself can just be as into writing as anyone else.
Good free-write. Your concrete examples (i.e. a paper about the discovery of an RNA molecule) help to illustrate your point that audience and gene often determine one another. I think you are correct when you write that both key terms are interrelated when we think about what concepts or elements of the writing process both genre and audience relate to.
