Audience

Being in the class and doing assignments make me automatically assume that mine audiences will be the teacher or classmates who know assignments’ topic. However, English 101 is designed differently. The instructor and classmates could read mine papers but the purpose of the class is writing to anyone regardless sex, age, and religion. Determining audiences is very important because the aim of writing is towards audiences. Since I assume that mine audiences are within a class room, a paper might lack of explanation of what it is about because of assumption that audiences already knew the topic. Now, I am aware of my audiences are beyond the size of class room so I will have a different approach to my writing. It’s important that writers provide a good explanation about what they are writing about so I always make sure that readers can understand my points, in other way, I give explanation of my choices. However, it is hard to satisfy all readers since each has different views. It is normal that there are agreement and disagreement about a paper. If one try to satisfy readers by providing common sense to gain agreement, their paper will be boring. Therefore, a paper which creates argument might be interesting.
