After reading a few essays by three different groups of people: The Doctors, the Nurses and the Patients. People hold different styles in almost every aspect in life such as types of music, clothing, colors, books, and films. So when it comes to different writing styles, then one can agree with that also. One just never thinks about it and with people having what they think is “good’ personal writing.

In chapter four of Strategic Writing, Deborah Dean stresses the importance of writers taking into mind the perspective of the audience (84). Understanding audience will help writers better understand the context they need to write in(Dean, 84). To convince others that our perspective is valid, we need to analyze the intended audience and whoever might read our writing (Dean, 84).

There are some things, particularly audience and word choice that overlap together in a way that make you think of the text in another dimension.…
The main emphasis of this reading is the concept of different type of writing for different type of occasions. The authors’ argument is based on the idea that grammar is not the fundamental for a good piece of writing. It argues that the author should write based on the audience, it wants to convey its attention towards. Types of writing differ based on the subject you are writing about. For example, a Science article can be structured using a passive voice yet many writers dislike the idea of using the passive voice because it does not specify the person of action and for writers’ analysis and emphasis is very important to fulfill the understanding of the reader.…
“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.” This quote by poet Robert Frost states that a good work of literature, good enough to be read by others, should have a deeply personal exercise between the writer and the reader. If the writer has a reaction to an event, the reader should have the reaction as well. In my eyes, Frost is 100% accurate with this claim.…
