What to Keep Aware of with Public Writing.

Work that will eventually be introduced to the public should be done with awareness in mind, whether that may be to keep the target audience in check, to maintain good marks from fellow critics and reviewers, or even a combination of these two factors.

With your target audience, by maintaining your writing awareness in a style that relates to the targeted audience, they’ll most likely enjoy the point you’re trying to get across. Due to this, it’s less likely that your audience will react in a manner that may harm your writing, and may even help in spreading more of your work around for people to recognize. By changing up the style of your writing in a drastic manner for the worse, however, much of your audience would react in a negative behavior. It’s from this negative behavior that much of your audience may disapprove of your writing, and would not only result in loosing most of your audience, but it may also lead to a loss of other people who may be interested in your work, who have yet to discover it.

On the other hand, critique should also be kept aware of, due to how your writings may affect other people in various ways. If a writer were to keep a similar style of poor writing, even after being given advice on improvements to make, critique towards your work may be more harmful than helpful. From this, the people critiquing your work will most likely be turned off from your writing, which in result will also lead to a similar loss of your public audience and potential future audiences, much like with a drastically changed style of writing. With improvements to your writing through advice, however, it’s more likely that the people critiquing will praise your work, and help in gaining more of an audience for your writings.

At the end of it all, while you should be keeping track of both your target audience as well as the critiques to follow, the most important factor is learning to keep a perfect balance between both of these factors, and to not lose one or the other. By losing yourself to one or the other, it’s most likely that you won’t be able to improve yourself as a writer. By keeping aware of these factors during your writings however, it’s more likely that you’ll be more successful in in near future.

A "Type Five" too many

In becoming a writer throughout my years in High School, one of my biggest challenges came from my senior year, from which I was tasked to write out two type five essays in a manner of five days.

It was my senior year in High School, and I was taking my portfolio class, where our overall grade was solely based on a Portfolio, consisting many of our rewards, works, and type five essays. Unfortunately for me, I've always struggled in completing these type five essays, which are five-page essays with included pictures and captains pertaining to them. So when it came down to me having to complete two of them in a short amount of time, I was worried.

To begin with, I was worried because of how I've always had a hard time whenever it came to any English work. English was my weakest subject, and it's because of this that I've usually tried to avoid doing type five essays as much as I could. Not only this, but I also had problems whenever it came to sticking with the subject manner. Many of the type five essays I wrote usually strayed away from the point I was trying to get across, and sometimes ended for me in a less-than-satisfying manner.

When it came to completing the types fives, however, I decided to try and experiment with the usual structure I tend to follow in my writing. Normally, when I try to start a type five essay, I usually try and start with the thesis, and then work my way down from there. This time, however, I chose to start with the body of the essays, which allowed me more freedom the further I wrote. Also, I decided to start creating a list of what I was going to say, as well as do some research on the subject manner, before I began to type out what I wanted to say. Because of this, I was able to get a better grasp on what was needed in order to complete my essay, and was even able to get my thoughts together, before I started typeing out the essay in a mindless-like behavior.

In the end, I used these experimentations with my new writing style, starting from the body, and helped create two type five essays much easier than before. When the five days were up, and I turned in both type five essays, I got a perfect score on both of them. And while I had trouble in the beginning, it was because of my newly developed skills that truly made this a major moment in my writing career.

"Music Review: Lady Gaga". Who's the Audience?

Upon analyzing the author's music review about Lady Gaga, there was a distinct showing of how the author was appealing to a new-coming audience, using descriptions from both the manner in which he describes Lady Gaga, as well as giving a distinct description about her performance with her latest show.

 Judging from the way the author is describing the show, it's safe to say that he's aiming for an audience who have no idea of Lady Gaga before reading this article, helping to create an image of who she is for these newcomers. This can be mostly seen from "like a female Elton John when she played (and belted) 'Speechless,' wearing a huge black feather shawl." From this line, the author is helping to create an image of Lady Gaga, and also help create comparisons to other audiences that may like Elton John before reading this music review. Alongside this, the author had mentioned some of Lady Gaga's quotes from within the performance itself. One line specifically, "I'm a free bitch" was one of the more common lines used within her performance. With this, the new-coming audience would get an even better understanding of what they would expect out of her shows.

Also, the way the author describes Lady Gaga in general is also a great manner in drawing in this new-coming audience. This can bee specifically seen from "Lady Gaga is strutting along it with larger-than-life style and, behind that, actual musical gifts." as well as "Her voice is strong enough to expose in a cappella singing, and she backed herself up with her own piano playing". From these two quotes, the new-coming audience would now understand the mannerisms and singing that Lady Gaga would be giving them.

There's also the manner in which the author describes the show that would also help draw in his audience. This can mainly be seen from "Her opening reflected her two main source genres: R&B from Jason Derulo and glam-rock from Semi Precious Weapons." Through this, the author is helping to create a style of music for people to be drawn into, with the R&B and glam-rock styles drawing in both of those audiences. The author helps showcase just what the audiences should be drawn into, and even helps in creating parallels to other singers and groups, to create even more connections with her style of singing, which in turn would draw in even more of an audience.

From these points, its easy to see how the author of this music review has been able to capture a new-coming audience.

An Introduction: Who Am I?

Hello, my name is Kevin Markham. I'm 18 years old, and I'm a college student majoring in Criminal Justice over at Bridgewater State University.

Growing up, I've lived in the city of Attleboro, Massachusetts, with my parents, my sister, and a couple of pets. My mom's name is Eileen, who's a factory worker in Foxboro, and my dad's name is Donald, who's an Electrician. my sister's name is Erin, who's 20 years old, currently a Junior in college at UMASS: Dartmouth and is majoring in the Medical field. I also have a pet dog named Sammy, who's 9 years old, and is a wheaten-terrier.

For schools, I've attended Willet Elementary School, Brennan Middle School, and Attleboro High School, where I graduated from earlier this year. In school, I always excelled in Math, with English being my both my least favorite subject as well as being my hardest subject to pass. In High School, I took Graphic Design as my elective, which has proven to help benefit me outside of school. In Graphic Design, I learned how to use Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and had even taking a semester learning about Photography, learning its benefits in the real world, and had even taken a few field trips capturing photos for my school newspaper.

When it comes to activities outside of school, I'm currently a Boy Scout in Troop 25 of Attleboro. Just recently, I've become an Eagle Scout, which is the highest rank reachable in scouting. And while I can no longer participate in scouting as a Boy Scout, I am planning on becoming an Assistant Scout leader for my troop, to further keep myself involved with the troop. I was also a student at my karate school America's Best Defense, where I was a second degree Black Belt in Krav Maga. I've trained at America's Best Defense for over ten years, starting from when I was only 8 years old. Unfortunately, I've had to postpone my time at karate to attend college, mainly due to costs, however my time at America's Best Defense was home of some of my favorite memories to reflect on.

As stated before, I'm majoring in Criminal Justice here at Bridgewater State University. My initial plans after college are to try and become a police officer, with a possible higher position due to my experiences in karate and being an Eagle Scout, however I'm still keeping my mind open for what I should do post college. As for now, I plan on having a fun time in Bridgewater, do my best in all of my classes, and even meet a few new people.

As stated before, my name is Kevin Markham. I'm 18 years old, and this is my introduction of who I am.
