After reading this first chapter, I realized how many different elements go into pieces of writing, and that when I write, I don't usually think in such a detailed manner. I've only ever thought of genre when it relates to music or types of movies, and I am not familiar with many writing genres (only the basic academic ones that you use over and over again growing up in school). There were some parts of this chapter that I already knew to think about when reading and writing, such as ethos/pathos/logos, thinking about an audience, etc., but most of it was new and intriguing to me. I never think about genre when writing, and never knew certain aspects were so important, such as design and style. It was interesting to read and learn about every little thing to think about when reading and writing, and it is something I'm definitely going to implement in my future writings. I also learned a lot about rhetoric and genres within media that I never even knew existed. I like to do things that will end up making me a better writer, and the elements in this chapter will definitely help me with that. I was expecting to be bored when I opened the book to read this chapter, but I ended up learning a lot of new things that I will find useful in my future writings.

I was also unfamiliar with writing genres, and thought of it more as different genres of music, movies, and books. I also learned a lot of new things thanks to the book, and didn't find it as boring as expected.
