A genre is a category of artistic composition, they are characterized by similarities in form, style, or subject matter (mainly, what type of text the author is writing). The purpose is the goal that the author is trying to accomplish in his/her writing. The audience are the people that the author writes/addresses to in the story. This essay will describe the genre, purpose, and audience in three different stories and how these three terms can be linked to a theory in writing.

Some of the information the speaker did portray was very interesting to me due to the way that she introduced it to me. As an example when she was explaining the news article titles and who wrote them I was astonished to know what the differences were between two different titles and who had wrote them

Whereas when she would state her hypothesis on the topic she would become more gleeful and smerky with her words and her attitude when she speaks, for example after showing the photo of Europe she would talk about the problems of other countries using “what if?”

Billy Collins establishes his audience with his first remarks in his speech when he says “I am going to speak for 13 minutes. I think you deserve to know that this will be a finite experience. It is well-known in the world of public speaking that there is no pleasure you can give an audience that compares to the pleasure they get when it is over, so you can look forward to experiencing that pleasure 13 minutes from now. All the pre-law students just looked at their watches” (Collins 1).

Gloria Anzaldua’s How to Tame a Wild Tongue is an autobiography of the challenges of being bilingual. In her memoir, she brings up quite a few personal stories that paint a picture for the audience to truly understand their connection. She wanted to express to them that hiding your knowledge of your language no matter the level is extremely demoralizing on your self-esteem and on the other hand how strong and resilient they are as a people. Anzaldua’s passage is similar to Livingston in the way that they both feel unheard and belittled but just being who they are. Both have the purpose to motivate their audience to be who you are, don’t dim your light so others won’t feel uncomfortable. Aggad-Cerxs and Anzaldua’s are alike in that they both state facts as to why the stereotypes that were being learned and taught for so many years are false and why we need to make a change when perceiving other who aren’t like us. Livingston and Aggad-Cerxs writings are both spoken by them and are more recent than Anzalduas.
