Chapter 2 Question

This past week many different forms of writing  have been completed. The first one of course being on this blog, was of an analytical but persuasive genre. It was a short piece about whether I believe everyone is an author. The target audience for this was for my professor but also my fellow students. Saying that means the piece was more formal than informal and had a purpose of a prompt. Another form of writing I have done this week were text messages. These actually did range from formal to informal because in one instance I was texting my mom about being sick and needing cold medicine but another instance was texting my boss about being able to come in early to cover a coworker's shift. Both are of the same genre but ranged vastly in purpose and stance. Stance specifically because one I was trying to persuade my mom and the second making sure to be professional while telling my boss whether I want to come in or not. A very important piece of writing I have done in the past month where there was a very big emphasize on context was my letter to my boss instilling my application to be a shift leader. I had to focus of being formal and professional while connecting with my audience and showing my personality. I also had to analyze myself as a worker and persuade my boss to believe in my skills as much as I do.
