Answer: Emails, Coupons, Texting, Textbooks, Essays, Reviews, Research Paper, Story Book, Comic & Articles.
2. Name one or two that you like best and say why. Who is their audience? What sort of language do they use?
Answer: I’ll choose “texting” because it’s a casual and easy way to quickly communicate with others. Texting allows you to choose when you want to engage with someone, as opposed to a phone call. Texting also doesn’t require you to follow traditional grammar rules. The easy-going nature of texting cultivates an environment that allows for free expression. For example, over text, you can use emojis to best display how you are feeling and what point you want to get across.
3. What is your understanding of the term “Genre:”?
Answer: A genre is the very essence of communication. We communicate through music, text messages, stories, poems, reviews, etc. The method, meaning approach and the emotion being channeled by a form of communication is called genre.

Name one or two that you like best and say why. Who is their audience?
I like many genres, but my favorite are Narrative and Biography genres. Narrative genre is information about incident given in a story. As a reader this kind of genre is positively affective to me when I deal with it because telling a story that attracts my attention and simple to keep information in my mind. As a writer, it gives me more ways and space to write and feed the reader. Narrative’s audience are people who prefer stories and significant events. Biography is a narrative of a person’s life. As a writer and reader, I like this genre because It describes a person’s life in detail, which can help and show what the reader may do not know or has never experience. Also knowing about someone life, could inspire the reader a lot. Biography’s audience are people who need inspiration, instructions of things in their life and whom want to learn from others. Both Narrative and Biography genres are presented in a format or language that tells a story.
