Political Genres
you might wanna know is who is right? Well in a weird way both of
them are right.! Trump is correct because in some cities the violent
crime rat has went up in 2014, 2015, and 2016. Clinton is correct that
while the numbers have spiked in some major cities, the national trend
shows a steady decrease over several
decades.http://www.cleveland.com/articles/19556546/do_you_feel_safe_do

The third political issue that i found to be a genre is "education".
high school graduation rate this year rose to the highest rate in three
decades, that college enrollment has grown, particularly for Hispanic
students, and that fourth and eighth graders saw small gains in both
reading and math on the 2013 National Assessment of Educational
Progress, known as the Nations Report Card, which was released
Nov. 7. A secretary named Arne Ducan stated In a knowledge-based,
Now I know your probaly thinking what makes all these genres
"genres"? Well I have found different conventions and terms in
writing that makes these genres "genres".
1.Rhetorical writing
2.Logos
3.Conventions
4.Ethos
5.Pathos
I know if your new to genres and your looking at this list of
words your probably thinking to your self what the hell do those
mean?! These are just some of the terms you can use to check if a
peice of writing is a genre.
All these articles all had theses terms in common. I would say
that all the aritcles had rhetorical writing in them. Rhetorical writing is
when a writer is trying to persude you through writing. All three of
the articles were trying to persude the reader to belive what they
were talking about in the article. Whats the purpose of the article if it
cant be persuasive? The articles also showed examples of Logos.
Logos is when it is apeeling to the audience sense of logic, facts,
and satisistics. In all three articles they were showing examples of
satisitics and facts based on research. These articles also showed
different conventions. Conventions are the ingrediants or charicteristics
to identify a text. The article showed conventions by having different
aproaches and appels to the audince. The articles had different
forms of writing that makes up these coventions. Ethos played a part
in these articles too. Ethos is the credibility of a writer or rhetor.
These articles all gave credibility to the writers in the beginning of
each article. The last thing I noticed these articles had in common
was Pathos. Pathos is reading something that evolks emotion. All the
genres I picked all are major issues in america. People actully care
about these things. For a person to care about these things such as
my self, reading these articles evolked emotion because I can relate
to all these genres in real life.
