I Can Read!!

In chapters five and six, Bullock and Goggin state that there are many different ways write and portray ideas. I think that the writers are correct in thinking that we have many options when it comes to writing. Whether we chose to write using formal essays or informal notes to friends, we have all sorts of options. I think these chapters were helpful in allowing us to see how many different varieties of writing are out there; even ones that we would not normally consider, such as leaving a to-do list for ourselves.

"This experience showed me just how differently my writing could be judged by various readers." This statement by Shannon Nichols proves the point that our audeince plays a big part in the way that we choose to write. If our audience is a group of preschoolers, they are not going to want to hear about the latest problems with the economy; on the other hand, economists are not going to choose to read a picture book.

The audience we are writing for will greatly affect the way we portray our thoughts. The quote above proves that everyone has different views on things, and will therefore except things from a different point of view.
