Blog Post #7:Â Audience.
Last class before Spring Break was discussed how necessary is to choose an audience correctly and to picture the reader very specifically. It needs to be a specific audience because a particular subject that an author choose to write is not meant to be read by everyone, if you want to be very specific and detailed about a subject, by doing this as a writer you already divert from the generalize theme, so just the ones that are really interested in such kind of work will be that audience that you choose. Â The class created a specific person using as a start a millennial, so from there as a class we started complementing and adding more traits to this person, which would be someone who will be interested and read the work that as a writer you prepared specially for those specific people.
This activity help me realize how tedious is to visualize a specific audience for your intended work. However as writers and authors we want to have someone to read our opinions, arguments and claims so in order to accomplish this we need to write for someone, not about something. It will be pointless if no one read my articles. Is also important what type of words the writer chose to use, this also depends in who is your audience if they are highly educated people, the author must use complex words and give information, but if it is elementary kids the author must be really careful to choose words easy to understand.
