Quote
1: “These Multiple considerations of audience and
purpose functionally constrain the text, influencing its shape and structure.”
Response
1: It’s very important to know what audience you’re
writing to because you can base your purpose and structure to fit their needs.
For example if you’re writing to a bunch of five year olds about a college
topic they wouldn’t understand it because the vocab and structure you use would
not make sense to them
Quote
2: “Figures which are more strongly defined against
their field will tend to appear more important than other figures which share
the same ground.”
Response
2: If you want the reader to pay close attention to a
specific area your headings can be important, when I see text in bold I usually
pay more attention because I know valuable information can come from it. Also,
when you use bold headings its helps the reader organize the text easier, so
you can sort out the information in your head.
Quote
3: “Unconstrained by linear presentation, the reader can
move about, settle on certain sections, read some sections lightly, some
intently, some not at all, and still have a good idea of what the text is
about.”….. “The localization of the
text makes possible the selective use of the text by varied audiences for
varied purposes.”
Response
3: These two quotes kind of go hand in hand, but im not
sure how you can write something and spread out the information enough so your
reader can understand most of the writing even though he/she might skip over
something. I guess I can see how you can see the basic information if your
skimming but like the one quote said what if you put some important information
where the reader skipped
over
Quote
4: “The text reflects decisions by the author to adopt a
variety of strategies in response to varying ideational content and in the
interest of assembling the information attractively for various audiences.”
Response
4: When authors can use different strategies to keep a
reader interested maybe be one of the best tools for writing because sometimes
when I read these essays from the English books I can’t follow the information
because it’s all so repetitive. When the author uses different organization to
display what they’re talking about I can usually follow along easier.
