‘But on a brighter note, genres also help us to make more efficient decisions when writing, as we can see how people have approached similar situations. Creating a new genre each time that writing was
required would make the writing process much longer, as we would not have past responses to help us with present ones (Devitt, “Generalizing” 576). As a result, the more you are able to master particular
genres, the better equipped you may be to master genres that you later encounter”. I like this quote because I never thought genres help us out as much as they do.

 

“Learning about genres and how they function is more important than mastering one particular genre; it is this knowledge that helps us to recognize and to determine appropriate responses to different situations”. I like this quote because it shows how important genres are and how they help us in different situations.
