Chapter 2.h

1. I believe the rhetorical situation to which this text is a responce to is that the author, Gabriel Mcvey, that wrote, "Do not be fooled by the Clinton's again." is not persuasive. The writer's main purpose is to prove that Gabriel McVey was not very persuasive when trying to convince his audience that they should not vote for Hilary Clinton in the upcoming election. His audience is college students. I can tell by his diction and also since the article was posted in a college news paper.
2. The genre conventions I recgonize in the text is persuasive. I have written one paper in this genre in high school, and i was trying to persude against censorship.
3. Another genre the author could have used and achieved the same purpose for the same audience is a documentary. The advantages of a documentary is it would grab more college students attention rather then the text. A disadvantage of a documentary is that it might only show one side, and it would be to bias.
4. Another genre the writer might use to commicate his purpose to a different audience is a debate. Therefore both sides could be represented and argued, and this could be presented to an older audience. The writer would need to adapt his persuasive appeals by taking about issues that effect the age group he is addressing.
5. A genre that might also apply to a teacher is persusaive. A social worker would use the genre non-fiction because they would present all the facts, and a scientist would use data and charts gathered from polls for the election to present his opion.
