For my Unit 1 Assignment it was clear to me that I would be writing a letter rather than a speech. Ever since I knew which discourse community I wanted to talk about it was really a no brainer. My target audience is very niche and given the nature of the dilemma, I thought it be best to be as non-confrontational as possible. Also another important reason for why I wanted to write a letter opposed to a speech is so that my audience can go back to reread if necessary. I took inspiration from Wollstonecraft. As much I may dislike Wollstonecraft herself, the letter she wrote gave me some insight towards the benefits of writing a letter opposed to a speech. Writing a letter allows for a level of complexity that could not be emulated in a speech of the same caliber. And as a writer I found myself relying on the usage of literary devices such as pathos, logos, and ethos to persuade my audience.
