A&B

One of the most interesting parts of the first three chapters of  The Allyn & Bacon Guide To Writing is on page 22. On page 22, the authors talk about How Writers Think about Audience. Some of the questions that a lot of writers ask about there audience are questions like: How busy are my readers? What are my reader's motives for reading? What is my relationship with my readers? How interested are my readers in my topic? Do my readers already care about the subject? This idea was very interesting to me because it is new. In previous years of writing, there has not really been much thought to who the audience would be. The assignment was given and I was asked to right about a topic. My thoughts were get this done as fast as I can so it will be done and out of my way. I never had the thought to look into who would be reading this paper if it were not just for a school assignment.  This definitely changed my ideas about writing and all the aspects that go into being a good writer. Next time I sit down with a paper I will definitely ask these questions about my paper's audience.
