first blog

I didn’t know anything about these concepts.  I learned about the rhetorical situations in depth how you don’t need always come up with the right answer. It’s more about what goes into good writing and how you phrase it. I need to first understand what rhetorical meant by going to the dictionary and looking it up. So I could understand what rhetorical situations were and they are purpose, audience, genre, stance, and design. I learned what the different categories were of writing different genres. Whether it be a resumes or a lab report. I want to incorporate the rhetorical situations in my future papers because it helps put structure in the essays. I can incorporate genres by having it help me write a resume and job letters. Maybe next year when I take a science class genre will help write a lab report. These concepts were difficult because I have never heard about these. I found this interesting because there are names for every part of writing a paper whether it be purpose or design. Genre was interesting because I knew the different styles of writing but I didn’t they classified as genres. I found it informative because now when I write my papers I can explain my purpose and stance in my papers. Now if I have any questions about what type of genre I’m writing about all I have to do is look in the book.
