If you could use the three appeals to appeal to multiple audiences whilst satisfying them all, in theory, life would be easier. However, that is not the case. Your appeals would not be effective to say the least. This is a flaw that affects most newspaper editorials. They seem to have many audiences and they three appeals are take little to no effect.…
My past experiences with writing I would have agreed with the thought of writers have audiences. This is no longer true for me after reading Ong’s article “The Writer’s Audience Is Always a Fiction”. I was always told, writing to catch a specific audience attention is the key to having a successful piece. I now agree with Ong, the thought of an audience should be used for the writer’s advantage.…

The concepts of genre, audience, and rhetorical situation are alike in their significance to the process of writing. They can be distinguished not only by their definitive meanings, but by a series of questions considered in the early stages of writing; what do I want to say, how do I want to say it, and who do I want to say it to? To these questions there are no clear-cut answers, empowering the writer to explore a variety of topics. It is important to understand that genre, audience, and rhetorical situation are not considered in a sequential order, nor are they exclusive to planning. In fact, the development of new ideas can occur in any stage of writing.…
Explain the importance of the rhetorical situation. Understanding your audience is extremely important in writing. As a writer of a technical reports, it is important to understand the "rhetorical situation" so you can target your message for a specific audience. The term was first used by Lloyd Bitzer (1968) in “The Rhetorical Situation,” to refer to all the features of audience, purpose, and demands that serve to create a moment suitable for a rhetorical response (The College of Liberal Arts, 2015). When you understand who will read your message, you can write and form the message so that particular audience can best understand the meaning of the message (Alford and Mott, 2015).…

Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” uncovers the laxity of British and Irish Gentry towards the increasing poverty in Ireland and the exploitation of the Irish. With its metaphors that depicts cannibalism as an acceptable solution to hunger, ‘modest’ can only be seen as an euphemism for this egregious suggestion. This satire dictates an economically insightful proposal that alleviate poor parents of their ‘bastard children’. As a result of this proposal, the outcome suggests to hinder children from being an excessive liability to the public. With mathematical and economical reasoning, the dehumanization, devouring and devaluing of human life only speaks to criticize the British’s negligence.…
For my redesign project, I chose to analyze my paper about the decreasing percentage of females withholding a law enforcement position and the reasoning to why that is. I chose law enforcement agencies trying to recruit more females as my new targeted audience for this assignment. For my original document, my audience was directed to the general public. When I made my original document, I gave a brief explanation about the qualifications and requirements of becoming a police officer. I gave my briefing to a board of three judges that consisted of one police officer and two high school teachers.…
For my speech over foster care, I expected people to know what foster care was, but not to know very much about it. I had twelve people fill out the audience analysis surveys, so the results are not completely accurate about the entire audience. I had two open ended questions, because I wanted to know the audience thoughts and definition on foster care. I asked the audience to describe what foster care was in their own words. Almost all the answers were mostly correct.…
In “Ricardo’s Difficult Idea”, the audience seemed to be the general public; however, he considers students to be the ideal audience. The author, Krugman, even referred to himself a few times to explain his point of view. The author didn’t specify who the audience actually is. However, Bastiat’s “A Petition” seemed to be just the opposite.…

I said at the beginning of the year that I might want to do a fashion blog.…

The real purpose of the talk, need for a particular speaker, and knowledge about the audience, expectations of the audience and the outcome of the session will lead to the design and delivery of the presentation. Know your audience as well as possible – Once the purpose of the presentation is clear and before beginning to research on the content, the presenter should review the audience awareness.
