Changing the Genre of a Blog Article

“Genres are types of texts that are recognizable to the reader and writers, and meet the needs of the rhetorical situation in which they function.”(Swales 467) I asked Hilgenbrink, What texts or books do police officers use every day? He said “I think the text or book that we use every day is the laws that we enforce.” This is pretty simple because the laws are stated in the state’s constitution which the police officers inforce. Genre is crucial to the development of a discourse

I think it’s fair to assume that over the course of their career, a writer toggles through a number of different genres until they find their niche. In my opinion, I feel that the only way to differentiate what form of writing works over the other is to write different drafts of each genre. Oddly enough, through my past academic experiences I have written more work based on rhetorical analysis than literacy narrative. In fact, in high school most of my English courses were heavily based on rhetorical analyses. After my elementary school days, I found myself sparsely writing any literacy narratives. Yet, writing this essay became a tedious task even though my experience would suggest otherwise. I feel the most difficult part of this assignment

Genre knowledge was heavily seen throughout every chapter we have read thus far into class. From setting up this memo and reading about the proper format, formatting the one pager to appeal to the audience, and the future proposal design for the Foundation. This formatting is correlated with the chapter three reading that discusses design principles. This is important because after the

the current event that have happened in crimea have left the world watching, wondering what is going to happen next. russian forces have invaded crimea and is currently trying to annex crimea. Crimea, which has a population that is about 60 percent Russian, was transferred from Russia to Ukraine in 1954, when both states were part of the Soviet Union. Crimea is also home to 300,000 Tatars, Turkic Muslims who suffered horribly under Stalin during Soviet times. They are almost all opposed to Crimea's union with Russia, and most boycotted the referendum. Recently Ukraine’s intelligence services identified Russian intelligence forces are targeting the pivotal parts of Ukraine’s government from within Russia. additionally SBU or Security Service of Ukraine identified that the Russian Black Sea Fleet was securing the presence of Russian secret services, national interests, and control over the direction of Ukraine’s political and military

George Soros, the multi-billionaire hedge fund manager and founder and chairman of the Open Society Foundations, sees a way to solve the crisis in the Ukraine. Soros, who fled his native Hungary with his family in 1947 because of the Soviet aggression and communist takeover of his country, can relate to what is happening to the Ukrainian people in their resistance to the Russian aggression in their country. Soros makes a couple of proposals that he feels will benefit Ukraine in his that was featured in The New York Review of Books titled “Ukraine & Europe: What Should Be Done?” This article can be found at www.nybooks.com/articles/2015/10/08/ukraine-europe-what-should-be-done/.

In conclusion, what I discovered about myself about the demands of reading different genres is that each genre told a story behind it. Even though the genre can be simple, it can express more than it may look. It's necessary to know what category of genre you're reading because then you'll be able to understand the message it conveys, as it may have certain expectations. This knowledge can support my reading and writing in the future because now I won't look at one specific genre, but more than one so that I can gain more information and understanding.

Additionally, we find that the protests were very different than the protests in the U.S. To start, massive corruption, voter intimidation, and direct electoral fraud had caused an entire country to go out and affirm their beliefs in certain leaders. The people of Ukraine’s galvanized an entire country dedicated to change in government whereas concerns in the U.S seemed to mainly show problems with social inequality. The dichotomies between these too protests as we see were very different and very clear. Some additional distinctions in the protest include that the U.S was made up of micro groups that were unsatisfied with the disparities occurring between the different classes, the groups were seemingly fragmented, had no straight forward vision, constantly contradicted themselves, made noise by occupying public spaces, were relatively small and unthreatening, and eventually, many might say the “occupy movement”

The two countries, Russia and Ukraine, had different reactions towards the armed violence and impeachment of the Ukrainian president. Although the majority of the Ukrainians opposed Viktor’s decision to procrastinate the signing the EU-Ukraine integration agreement, all the ex-presidents accused for its interference with the affairs of Crimean. The former presidents of Ukraine, including Leonid Kravchuk and Leonid Kuchma described the present crisis as Russia’s political interventions designed to interfere with the internal affairs of Ukraine and its relationship with the European Union (Hanschke 1). The people of Crimea have not been seeking for secession from Ukraine, but their interest is to have extended autonomy and rights to govern the Crimean affairs with minimum involvement of the government of Ukraine. Russia, on the other hand, have dismissed the accusation and stated that it is pursuing the interest of the people of Crimea to join the Federation of Russia. Russia holds that the people of Crimea have the power to decide the future of their territory and Russia will be ready to respect their decision. Study shows that about 90

It starts with introducing the two subsections of genres that will be the overall focus of the text which are narratives and explanations. The author goes into a lot of detail with both topics, telling the reader exactly what the definition and giving a number of examples for each. The second part then mentions the simple three-step process of a narrative, which includes an orientation, complication and a resolution. The author gives a fairytale example of this, with “A Prince By Any Other Name” which includes all three of those. Then, “The Life Cycle of a Frog” is featured which the author classifies as an explanation. The final part of the text talks briefly about hortatory and analytical exposition, and explains how basically, these are used specifically to “persuade to” (hortatory) and to “persuade that”

In addition to discussing the genre characteristic of this document I will be describing the following:

In this weeks topics we learned about point of view, structure, and the three types of genres. In the "point of view" aspect, when writing about yourself, you are writing in first person. To narrate your story, it will mean to tell it in third person giving the readers a 'outside looking in' kind of detail. When writing about structure of the paper, you have to keep the paper on the same topic and keep it well rounded throughout the paper. The genres of writing gives the type of story you choose to write about. Having to stick to a genre of writing makes it easier for the writer to write about the story they are trying tell.

The second criteria that turns a class of communicative events into genre is some shared set of communicative purpose and not similar forms or content. Swales (1990) discuss communicative purpose as a starting point for defining genre. In the case of newspaper culture columns, communicative purpose of each culture columns should be analyzed and then it will be determined if they share a set of communicative purposes and further a class of communicative events or not.

In this 101 university writing program, UWP. We had different assignments about finding different genres. Each assignment has it is different way of figuring out the genre. In this class we wrote a cover letter/ personal statement, effective emails for three professionals, presentation, literature review, formal report project, and genre analysis. Also, we had reading assignments. Each of these assignments gave us a better understanding of how to figure out the pattern of the genre. One of the most challenge paper I did was the formal report project. It was very large report analyzing different genres from primary and secondary researches. The challenge in this report was finding the primary research which was lifestyle blogs. Moreover, figuring out the different conventions and moves were used in these blogs. I had to compare between different blogs and find the pattern the authors used in creating their blogs. The problem was in each blog the author used different conventions and moves, so the hard part was figuring out the most common conventions and moves. The conventions and moves I used with my group were consistency, telling a story, blog is a conversation and appealing.

Genre is known to change discourse by the format the information is presented to the audience (Varela, 2008). It is also a category of composition that is characterized by a particular style, form or content as dictate by Webster Third Dictionary. However Trosborg (n.d) stated that for the past decade, genre identification, classification and description have been scholarly concern. Certain scholars dictate that genre is defined primarily around its basic external criteria such as journals and newspaper discourse while other scholars stand on the opinion that genre can be classify by its communicative purpose, linguistic content and form of role its play in the discourse made (Trosborg, n.d).

The conflict between the Ukraine and Russia is the Ukraine's most long-standing and deadly crisis; since its post-Soviet independence began as a protest against the government dropping plans to forge closer trade ties with the European Union. The conflict between Russia and the Ukraine stems from more than twenty years of weak governance, the government’s inability to promote a coherent executive branch policy, an economy dominated by oligarchs and rife with corruption, heavy reliance on Russia, and distinct differences between Ukraine's population from both Eastern and Western regions in terms of linguistics, religion and ethnicity (Lucas 2009).
