I've Never Thought About That

The Retorical Situations chapters provoked me to think on different levels when preparing to write a paper. I have never thought about how the genre or the medium could affect my assignment. I have never had to think about my audience though, since my audience has always been my instructor. I know that my writings need to be formal in order to please my instructors.
Reading about the literacy narratives made me think about the upcoming technology narrative we will have to write in class. The narratives in this text book are so detailed. I can't think of a story to write about, let alone be able to drage it out to four pages while still keeping it entertaining for my audience.
