‘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, ā€œGeneralizingā€ 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.
