In the beginning of the story dirk was asking us if he can create a country music even if it doesnā€™t speak on the topic that it normally speaks on? And as I continued reading he said ā€œ but above all I hope to give you an awareness of how genres function by taking what is often quiet theoretical in the field of rhetoric and composition and making it a bit more tangibleā€. As he continues to talk you can see that he is trying to make us have a deeper understanding when it comes to genres and how can people tell of it in different ways for example in the text he says ā€œ think of genres as a way to help people get things doneā€. And one more point that was made known about genre in the text is that ” Miller is saying that all genres matter because they
shape our everyday lives. And by studying the genres that we find familiar, we can start to see how specific choices that writers make result in specific actions on the part of readers; it only follows that our own
writing must too be purposefully written.”
