Good writers should decide on the audience of the literary work before they start writing procedure. When one writes a paper or essay, it is possible that he or she actually forgets to decide the ‘definite’ audience of the piece of literature. However, one always writes targeting an audience, even if he or she does not think about it consciously: sometimes one considers the instructor as the audience, sometimes much generalized group of readers, and sometimes one writes for himself or herself. There are various reasons for recognizing the reading audience of literary work. Deciding the audience can aid in making correct decisions on the organization of ideas, matters to include, and how preeminent to defend your argument in the essay. Identification of the audience helps the writing process and enhances the essay whereas dropping of the audience concern restrict the boundaries of the essay.
The analytical essay, Overcrowding Prisons, did not explicitly asked for the keeping of audience in mind. Although I knew the concept of keeping an audience in mind before writing text, I wrote the essay for myself and my instructor – i.e. subconsciously the mind assumed that only I and my instructor are going to read the essay. I judged all information found during research from my point-of-view or to demonstrate my familiarity of the subject to the instructor. The consideration of specified audience would have helped to craft essay, but I missed identifying a particular audience for the essay.

After these experiences, I learnt that identifying the audience is necessary; however it is not intricate. I did not find difficulties in compilation of the analytical essay on prison population, but defining the audience would have helped in finding precise information and arranging them in better structure. In a persuasive essay, keeping the smokers of the city as audience in mind, I was able to judge the information from their perspective and thus could make convincing arguments. It also helped me in deciding the tone and language of the essay. Thus, taking the audience into consideration certainly enhances the essay.
Audience (Who was the audience for this work? What evidence from the author’s writing leads you to this conclusion?)
She analyzed conversations among her students to find out what helped them in becoming engaged in the classroom discussion. The class she chose as her subject had eleven women and nine men. Tannen said that she observed the class for a good amount of time when she concluded that almost all the men talked in class occasionally. The student who talked the most in class was a woman, but then she mentions almost half of the women did not speak at all in class. Tannen decided to divide her class in ways where she could prove her thesis statement that having both genders in the same classroom is an issue. She analyzed the students, separated them into three groups that are relevant to each, from their degree, gender, and the conversation style that she observed from each student. Naturally, she focused on how the all-woman group became talkative once the men were gone. At this point of her essay, she focused too much on what she was trying to prove with her thesis statement rather than really giving the readers to consider the other side of the story. As Tannen goes on with explaining the experiment she conducted in class, she started to divert with including the ethnicity of some students. The foreign students tend to talk less despite what gender, therefore counting the validity of their contribution out. The information provided towards the end of the essay started to become irrelevant. This part of her essay was very weak, showing some obvious bias as she was sharing the information
...to interpret the material up to the reader, but the use of these appeals help persuade the audience member to think a certain way. These analytical tools prove just how effective and in depth writers go into their material to make their work come across more powerful and influential, and each of these authors did just that.
Although the greater picture is that reading is fundamental, the two authors have a few different messages that they seek to communicate to their audiences. “The Joy of Reading and Writing” depicts how reading serves as a mechanism to escape the preconceived notions that constrain several groups of people from establishing themselves and achieving success in their lifetimes. “Reading to Write,” on the other hand, offers a valuable advice to aspiring writers. The author suggests that one has to read, read, and read before he or she can become a writer. Moreover, he holds an interesting opinion concerning mediocre writing. He says, “Every book you pick has its own lesson or lessons, and quite often the bad books have more to teach than the good ones” (p.221). Although these two essays differ in their contents and messages, the authors use the same rhetorical mode to write their essays. Both are process analyses, meaning that they develop their main argument and provide justification for it step by step. By employing this technique, the two authors create essays that are thoughtful, well supported, and easy to understand. In addition, Alexie and King both add a little personal touch to their writings as they include personal anecdotes. This has the effect of providing support for their arguments. Although the two essays have fairly different messages, the authors make use of anecdotes and structure their writing in a somewhat similar

The audience of a paper effects the entire tone and feel of it. When I first wrote the rhetorical analysis essay I considered my audience as the professor. I assumed this because she would be the one reading the essay. My assumption caused me to omit details and kept my writing too formal. By revising my audience, it allows for a larger scope of focus for the essay. Once I figured out that my audience was my peers the essay flowed much better. For example, I explained the idea of logos and other types of appeals. After I had revised my audience the essay began to sound and flow
In this audience analysis, I have addressed a situation in which I am called on to present quarterly sales information at an in-person meeting to a group of stakeholders, including managers, salespeople, and customers. I will explain how I will address the communication to this audience by answering the following questions: (1) What characteristics of the audience must I consider?, (2) What communication channels are appropriate? (3) What are some considerations to keep in mind given the diversity of the audience?, and (4) How would I ensure that my message is effective?
My intended audience is anyone who is passionate about gender inequality or interested in that type of topic, the purpose of my piece was to inform people about a issue which is everywhere is this modern day world, As you can see my piece is a informative essay about gender inequality I have chosen this form because I believe it has a major part in the novel animal farm, the nature of the link is when the pigs (Napoleon, Squealer and Snowball) decide that they want the milk and apples to themselves so they tell the other that the milk and apples is good for there health this represents a strong link with gender inequality, the language I am using is informative and persuasive, it is appropriate/relevant to how the pigs in animal are not being
In this essay, the author has argued a clear problem, about why not to install carpet in dorm rooms. I believe that the reasons the author gives might appeal to the audience. But I believe this essay is underdeveloped. It is more about the reasons why the author feels carpeting dorm rooms is a bad idea. But not if the students really believe it’s a bad idea. I think the author should have included a student survey or testimonies about why carpet is a bad idea.

This essay required critical thinking; our goal was to determine the author’s primary and secondary argumentative claim and to show how she was making her argument effective. I used imagery as my hook because I wanted to do something different than what I did in any other essay I’ve completed in all of my school years. Considering that this essay was a rhetorical analysis, I sort of connected with the audience through my imagery by mentioning how hard it is to not use your cell phone while in class. I followed the writing process by annotating and highlighting important points of the article and wrote down ideas that could be used on my essay. This actually made me more knowledgeable of what needed to be done because it allowed me to understand what the essay was talking about and gave me easier access with discovering key points to use for the three appeals, logos, ethos, and pathos. I felt very confident while writing the essay, and I knew that I’d make a passing grade.
...ruly realize the false reality that literature made. The reader also has a huge role into expressing these false realities to the public, which can cause prejudice in the near future. People need to be open and understanding of different people and situations. Perspective plays a huge role into the thinking of a human mind, and readers should be more aware of the information’s brought upon different ways. Readers should not come up with a preconceived idea based upon the beliefs of other people perspective but should experience these different societies.
Audience is important because you need to know what level you need to be using to get your message across. If you're writing for high school level, you probably shouldn't use college level or above phrasing and language. You need to write at the appropriate level for your audience's understanding, interest, and enjoyment.
A persuasive essay takes a position on a topic and attempts to prove that position.
One of the rhetorical knowledge learning outcomes is the ability to interpret and respond to different audiences. Going into this class, I was looking to improve on identifying audiences because I struggled with that in WRD 103 last quarter. Of all our assignments, the inquiry essay, the convincing essay, and the advertisement helped me improve because they all were intended to reach audiences in different ways. For instance, the inquiry essay had a purpose to inform, meaning the audience could be a variety of people. Hence, because I didn’t form an opinion within this specific essay, I learned not to direct it towards one group with a specific opinion, but rather a variety of individuals who may have differing opinions. In contrast, I learned that when arguing to convince the audience is identified as someone who disagrees with your claim or has not yet formed an opinion. The convincing essay and the advertisement were assignments where I had to target the audience who may disagree with me, which was very different from the inquiry essay because it took a clear stance and was aiming to convince rather than inform. While the audience’s with the convincing essay and advertisement were similar, the advertisement was unique because it was a visual assignment, which meant I needed to consider what my audience would find physically appealing as well as
