Writing For The Crowd

They say that all writing has a purpose, a purpose that we use to express ourselves in all certain kinds of ways. Such as rhetorical situations and all different kinds of genres. I say they're right about it, I write for an audience, or for myself. I write for fun and I write for school. All and all writing has the same structure and techniques. They say, "The genre thus determines how we read and how we interpret what we read." I think genre is one big factor in the way we choose to write our stories. It effects the stance of our story, that audience and what they may like, the kind of media we may choose to use, or even the purpose of writing the whole thing. I would choose to write a song if I knew my audience would enjoy it. I would then share a Narrative story with them in the song. I would share vivid details about something I'd want them to hear, maybe even persuade them. My narrative song/story would be something important to me that I would want to share with my audience. I would want them to be interested in my story as much as I am.
