Writing for an Audience

"Do unto audiences as you would have them do unto you." Out of all the reading this quote is what really stood out to me. If you want your audience to respect and appreciate you then you should write as if you respect them. When I write a paper I don't use slang or jargon, I don't write about inappropriate things, and most of all I get to the point of the paper instead of going on tangents. After reading this section I realized that writing for a specific audience is a really important aspect and could make or break a writing. When I read something I want to be interested in it based on my beliefs and things that are important to me. Now when I write, not only do I need to cover all the necessary main points, but also write for my specific audience.

Along with writing to a specific audience being an important aspect, so is detail. Although, I am not always the best at giving great details, I really do try. Giving details is what makes a story especially if the audience is interested in what is being written. It's what gives depth and meaning to any sort of writing. I like to know what my teachers like and dislike about a paper so I can write my paper to their approval, and most teachers like a lot of detail. When writing a paper for a class I never write it for a friend, relative, or peer. I write for my teacher because they are my audience and they are the one giving me the grade. A lot goes into writing a paper but in my perspective detail and audience are key to writing a good paper.
