audience and thesis
The audience is a big factor in how you write a message or story. If you are talking to a highly knowledgeable and adept group then you would want to explain your work or findings in a more descriptive and specific way than if you were just talking to a random friend about the subject. The same would be if you are writing a story for children you wouldn’t want to describe every little detail and not leave anything to the imagination because the kids would most likely get bored and not like the story you have written even if someone your own age would absolutely love what was written.
The thesis statement is important for essays and papers. This is because it will let you know what the main point of the paper; it is a statement that opens you up to the paper. The thesis should be specific but still leave room for debate. The PEE structure helps to support your thesis statement by giving the Point you are talking about supporting it with Evidence and then Explaining why it is all relevant to the original point and thesis. This helps to organize the paper or essay in a way that shows support to your original thesis.

Brandon, good examples and connections among the ideas.
ReplyDeleteBrandon,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree the audience is a huge factor in your paper and how in-depth your paper needs to be in depends on the audience. That being said you have to know the audience you are writing for before you can even start your paper.. This way you make sure your paper has enough detail and facts to support it.
This is a very well written paper. i noticed the choice of words you used and i liked it very much. just as you said, you targeted an older audience and were rewarded. What you said about the thesis statement was spot on, giving structure and guidance to the entire paper. finally, i liked how you defined P.E.E., ironically I told a girl in my last comment to do the same thing. Good Job.
ReplyDeleteGood job explaining the differences between audiences. You made a good point about not explaining everything to children and leaving room for their imagination. Well done!
