This essay focus on a specific genre that we chose in class to write about and explain how to  write the specific genre you are talking about.Portfolio #2

This essay was designed to help us understand the different genera’s that the world displays in the form of writing. The topic I chose to write about was Country music. Country music to me is an escape to remind me of home due to the specific lyrics, instrumental pieces, and the way the song is conducted.  What needs work in this essay is to gear towards a younger audience making it more appealing. Specifically  the second and third paragraph puts more conventions into the essay. The entire essay needs to be more rhetorically sophisticatied. Also I need to have a better transition into my conclusion paragraph. What I did well in this essay was to generate a country song which helped the flow of the essay. I made it easy for those who are unfamiliar with the format of country music. What I learned from this essay is how easy it is to explain a “how to do” paper when you know about the topic you are writing. Also it helped develop my skills into developing a paper for a general audience/ young audience. What I had trouble with was making it so board to the audience because we were not given a specific audience, coming up with the genre to write about and explain was difficult. As I got further into my paper it became easier to a write to a general audience then a specific one. Also the many drafts helped once again to decide what I really wanted to include in the paper.
