2) Genre

To me, genre is those different categories that put similar content together, but we see it everywhere in music, movies, and of course books and writing, it helps the reader to choose which category to read or watch from to their interest. We all have written pages and pages for an assignment if it’s in high school or college, or even for work. I have written papers on top of papers for my high school classes it really taught me how to become better at writing, I have written different pages for different things and because of that each group of those pages if we break them down, so they fit into genres I could easily find a speech that I wrote or a horror story. The author defined genre as acts that are in patterns, that relate to the text in that genre. My definition has a lot of similarities to the author’s definition we both agreed on the text is similar to others and put in the same category and every genre has its own patterns.

There’s not much difference to the definition we came up in class to the author’s definition, there’s a lot of ways you can explain genre and online you will find a lot of different definitions to it, however doesn’t mean you will find them all to mean the same they will give different ideas to it, it will come down to who wrote the definition and what they thought of it. Both our definition has basically the same meaning, the way we presented it was different and gave two different definitions. What the writer thought of it will matter how it will be presented to the reader, also the reader could understand it in a different way than the writer meant to deliver the definition.
