In order to write a love letter, I would first buy paper with some kind of border on it that looks passionate. Then I would buy a purple gel pen because it’s my favorite color and it’s also my boyfriend’s favorite color. I wouldn’t spend anytime thinking about what I want to write, I would just let the letter flow with my feelings for him. I would let him know all my feelings and thoughts of him and how much I love him. I would close the letter with a small poem about us, just to make him smile again. Finally, I would fold the letter and place it in an envelope, write his name on it, and draw hearts on it. I would leave it in a place where I know he would be sure to find it and smile when he sees it.

I will be comparing the genres of the analysis paper and the ethnography paper. I feel these two genres are somewhat alike. In the ethnography paper you gave your definition of some specific topic. You do research, give examples, and include facts about your subculture. In the analysis paper you give your thorough interpretation about whatever you chose to analyze. For both genres you give your point of view about your topic, you have to take your audience into consideration, and you’re trying get a message across. One is more factual than the other, one allows you to do more research than the other, and one is more of your own idea than actual facts.

I will again use my analysis paper, because I feel I followed this genre the best. I had a really hard time deciding what to use for this genre, I changed my topic from a book to three fragrance advertisements. I wasn’t much of a challenge to match the genre to the content once I changed my topic. I was having a really hard time trying to analyze the book, but once I switched to the ads, it was a lot easier. I reviewed these ads over and over until I felt I understood what the advertiser was portraying in his ad. I picked out what the message was sending to the audience and the overall appearance of the ad. There wasn’t anything I wasn’t allowed to include due to the genre. This genre made me realized that most advertisers sell appearance in their ads instead of the actual product, in many of the ads you can’t even tell what is being sold.

I followed the analysis genre while writing this paper. It started off with a summary of what the advertisers were selling and the appearance of the ad to give the audience an idea about what they looked like. I then analyzed the three ads using examples as evidence. Finally I stated what I felt the advertisements meant, showing my opinion on how an advertiser sells things and how they appear to their audience.

Class examples of genre are the argumentative essay, ethnography paper, and analysis paper. When it comes to genre, it all depends on what you are writing. Genres are identified through many different things such as tone, language, medium, and design. You construct your paper on the basis of your audience, based on who you’re writing for; you make it appeal to them. Your genre is produced according to the purpose of your paper.

Strong Bad

It’s a picture of a cartoon that I’ve never seen before; this cartoon character (known as Strong Bad), looks like he’s pissed off at the world. He has an irate look on his face, mouth wide open like he’s yelling at someone, and fist held out resembling a fight. Strong Bad’s sizzling face gives the impression he can take on anyone, no matter their size. It’s an appearance that would make you afraid just by looking at the picture. He holds his mouth open like he’s yelling at someone, like he’s mad about something and has to take his anger out by yelling. Strong Bad is wearing boxing gloves as if he’s ready for a fight, anyplace, anytime. His arms are held out like he’s implying you shouldn’t come near him unless you’re ready for a fight. Whatever it is, Strong Bad is simply shouting that he’s no one to be messed with!
