Kerry Dirk explains the concept of genres and how each typically follows a set of guidelines. Dirk also explains the struggles of writing within a new genre. I agree that when introduced to a new topic, there are many struggles with not knowing where to begin at first. I do research on this topic, and as Dirk explained in this piece, people look for information and base their response on all other previous responses. For me, this is relatable. Last year, I had to do a research paper on a topic I knew nothing about. I based my response on other people's responses I found online. Also, becoming familiar with genres will benefit writing and life skills; just as the Dirk explains, learning more about genres can even help with job interviews and life. Dirk explains how we must familiarize ourselves with rhetorical action, and there are various genres we encounter everyday. Genres are more than what we typically think of, such as horror, comedy etc. As a student, I now find it very important to educate myself on genres.

I agree that having to write about something you don't know much about, makes it a lot harder to write a good paper. I also do more research to help gain more knowledge so I can be more confident in my writing.
