A genre that i know well is comedy. And comedy is something that you see more on stage which is meant to make people happy. And according to google it happens to have a lot of rhetorical features such as “characterization, stereotype character, flat character, round character, static character , dynamic character, foil character, “and many more. Comedy is something that people need in their every day lives and it is something that can either be done intentionally or not. I learned the rules of this genre while watching comedy shows such as fresh prince of bel air , the parkers and living single. I also learned the rules about this genre through “Navigating Genres” by Kerry Dirk. In the text he said something that my attention about genres in general and he said knowing what a genre is used for can help people to “accomplish goals, whether that goal be getting a job by knowing how
to write a stellar resume, winning a person’s heart by writing a romantic love letter, or getting into college by writing an effective personal statement.” and also on the text he mentions how comedy is done” Possibly without even thinking about it, or you were recognizing the rhetorical situation of your action and choosing to act in a manner that would result in the outcome you desired. “
