            I believe the genre analysis were very helpful to us. I believe it was very helpful because we got the opportunity to see how someone in our position analyses a genre. Taking us through each process step by step was very helpful. It gave me an idea as to how to start my analysis and gave me a guideline. With Magee I was interested in the female prejudice. I was interested in this topic because I am a women and I do know that some things that I say or my ideas are over looked.  She did a good job explain this topic and doing an analysis of the genre. I will definitely refer back to her when I do my analysis.

            With Allen being in the science field mad his writing style totally different. The way that he had to establish is credibility and authority had to have a more structured tone for his field. I think that we had to read to two articles together because it shows how the genre determines how you approach the analysis. Education majors will not analysis the genre the same as a engineer major. I think the two reading gave us a diverse look on how to analysis our genre.

I think the Bawarshi reading was similar to the other readings we have been reading. I think we still had to read this reading because sometimes with genres you have to change how you will analysis depending on your major and what your interest is. The quote that stuck with me was

“Communicants and their social environments are constantly in the process of reproducing one another, in much the same way that biologic ecosystems sustain, and are sustained by their organisms.”---- This quote was important to me because communication is the most important key. Also your communication revolves around your social environments. For example I do not speak the same way when I talk to a teacher as I would my friends and that is because my teachers will not speak to me the same way they do their friends. Overall I believe this was a good reading. I really liked the readings on the genre analysis the most.
