Grammar: Relationship among style, purpose and The audience
Every writer has his or her own unique ways of writing and this makes it for everybody to develop his or her own style, purpose and the audience.
Knowing your audience for a particular write up is very critical and of great value because it boils down to the facts that the content that will appear in the writing. The content of any write up , composition or articles has a specific topic will vary depending on the intended readers , listeners or audience. …
The Purpose Of Writing —WHY (why am i doing this write up ?)
My writer’s style guide lists these three key elements as
1) Subject : This deals with the main the main topic of the whole write up.
2) Audience : This deals with the targeted people that are suppose to make use of the information in the write up .
3) Purpose : This deals with the aim or reason of the write up
However, it seems Purpose must come first. Without it, why did you sit down to write in the first place? Purpose is the driving force behind the work. It will determine what you write about (subject) and how you arrange your argument for maximum impact (audience). Also, the purpose drives the intended result.
Subject—WHAT am I going to write about?
Decide what about the subject is most interesting or important. In the case of the composition, you probably won’t write an essay that describes the entire plot. Rather, you will pick a specific element of the plot and focus on what it does. Subject requires attention to both inclusion and exclusion.
3) Audience—WHO is going to read this?
This is harder than it seems because you have to intuit what your intended audience does and does not know. When ever there is any write , the intended audience should be bear in mind . Is the content for general audience , minor or gender specific . To include every possible reader, is, well, impossible, or at least not practical when writing generally for the public audience .
4) The style—How is it written or done ?
This style is unique because everybody does almost everything differently because of his or her style . Every Author or writer has his or her own unique ways or mannerism of writing , composition , explanation, teaching or conversation.
