Police brutality/racism is an emotional and important issues to talk about to some people. This issue involves lot of innocent peoples lives with it. Some people has a lot idea about police brutality and some people does not. In this unit I want to teach my audience the history of police brutality and why this issues keeps continuing and which color of people are being effected by this issues. The audience I want to reach is the people who are against police brutality/ racism. I want to reach this specific group of audience because I think they don’t have enough information about police brutality/ racism and they haven’t faced anything like that in their life. If I target this people and give them a perspective of the victims through my writing I feel like they will understand more and the meaning behind Black Lives Matter and they will join the movement and demand for changes and stand up for those helpless people. The genre i’m planning to write in is Historical fiction and political news. The reason I choose these genre because these genre will help me provide accurate information and lots of graphs numbers to show my audience the difference that i’m bringing up about police brutality and the history. This will help make keep my writing short and interesting to my audience which will help them to be more focus and actually be more interested in learning about my topic. These genre will also provide the statistics of police brutality and show if it went up or down which will play an important role in this issue. One of my concerns about finishing this project is that I hope to show the difference to my audience and hopefully they will understand the point I’m trying to prove in my writing.

Allowing the reader to understand your writing through another perspective will be very important in helping them understand the reasonings behind racism and the Black Lives Matter movement. I think it’s important that you let your readers know that racism is prevalent in society and it comes in many forms. Your target audience, people who are aren’t well educated in the BLM movement and police brutality might find it stressful to read something with loads of information and something that is one sided. An argument that comes up when taking about the BLM movement is crime against white people, police brutality against white people. Will you be incorporating that into your writing?
The proposal is very interesting and a topic that is very important in todays world. I think the way you said you want to reach to a specific audience is a good way to start it. With the audience I think you should be more specific and also now a days everything is very political so also maybe in your genre you can include a viewpoint from both sides and then you counteracting it or ways to educate them in a good manner. Also a lot of younger generations mirror the generations before them so maybe even educating everyone is a good idea . If you would like you could make it a short story of a hypothetical situation that is interesting for everyone that includes the points you want to be made.
