Purpose: The purpose for my analysis paper was to find an advertisement and describe what I think the message and the reasoning for the advertisement was. In my literacy paper is was to write and tell a story about a significant writing experience in my life.


Audience: In my first essay my audience could be anyone who read my story, which didn’t have to be anyone in particular. For my second essay the audience it targeted would mostly likely be people who smoke cigarettes.


Tone: The tone is the two essays were kind of opposite. For my first essay, there were a few jokes here and there. For my second essay it was way more of a serious tone because I talked about people losing their lives.

 Genre: the genre for my first story was simply to just telling a story while my second essay consisted of analyzing an advertisement and stating my opinion on it.

In the rhetorical essay you had to talk about specific facts and a lot about what you perceive about the ad that you chose. For the first essay you basically just told a story and without needing certain facts. For the analysis essay you were trying to prove a point and have someone see through your eyes and get the same message across.
