Response to pg 23 prompt

The writing I've done in the past week has been texting, notes, homework, signing my name (if that counts), and writing down dates for work.

   For texting, my 'genre' was a casual conversation with my friends as the audience. The purpose was just to talk about our lives, the topics ranging from work to when I might go back to California. The stance I had varied from topic to topic. The rest of the guidelines from this chapter had no affect on what I was writing. They aren't relevant to any part of what I was doing
   For homework, my genre was a series of interesting facts from the chapter, my audience being both my teacher and my classmates. My purpose was to write down the things that I had found to be intriguing and then discuss them with classmates in the next class as a way to relay information.My attitude toward my topic was motivated; i needed to find things to discuss next class to get a good grade so that i can graduate college and a get a job that will actually have a living wage because I was born into this world and we have a capitalist economy. It's a very independent, free activity. My medium was writing by hand on an index card. No visuals 'cause those are in the book.
  Finally, my last writing was dates on boxes. The audience was coworkers and customers. They need to know what product is inside the box so that they sell the customers what they want. My stance toward this is indifferent. It's just part of my job. The only constraints are where to write and what. My medium is black or green sharpie on a brown box. It's very earthy. So organic in nature. Beautiful. I have no tone. But according to the book, this makes me an author. I'm so proud of myself.
