Chapter 1 Summary
Genres
For many reasons genres are an important factor to consider when writing. Genres give people the opportunity to categorize various kinds of text, music, movies, or any composition. They also give a writer a general plan of what they want their outcome to be about.
A writer must be able to tell their story in a way that is appealing to their target audience. Rhetorical Appeals: Three common ways to persuade is ethos, pathos, and logos. Pathos can be the quickest way to persuade an audience. Pathos is an appeal to feelings and emotions. Logos persuades an audience by using facts and logic. Ethos, the last of the three, persuades people with the use of status. For example, knowing someones education status can make them a certain 'level of believable'. Getting someone to agree with an idea or stance, selling, or just informing can change the genre of a composition.
The elements of a genre are style, design, and sources. The style of a genre refers to the techniques used to communicate with the audience. A writer can be serious when speaking about a death rate over smoking to encourage people to quit or they can be overly excited to tell people about how much weight they lost and how. Design, refers to the physical picture or setup of a composition. Did they show pictures of the families who lost a loved one to smoking. Sources, the works we refer to to get real information. What makes this text or song believable.
