Texting- The intended audience in texting is whomever you are texting to. Typically when you are texting it’s either to a friend or family member. So the age range can differ as well as occupation, income, religion, etc. In terms of “how much your audience knows about your topic” and “can you assume your audience will be interested in what you say,” is all dependent on what you happen to be texting about with them in that very moment. Typically in texting there are two possible purposes for what is being said. 1) A quick favor needs to be asked, or a quick question. 2) You are engaging in a full conversation with someone or multiple people about some kind of topic. Under the category of “context,” the amount of independence you have as a writer in texting is completely unlimited.

Blogging- The intended audience for this particular blog is my professor mostly, but also classmates that are following my blog. The purpose of blogging is to complete assignments and share my thoughts about them. Also the primary goals are to stay caught up with the weekly blogs and fulfil all the necessary requirements on them; and thinking about your design when blogging can also contribute to the overall presentation and quality of it. Adding photos or colors that pop can make blogging more enjoyable and your blog more interesting to read.

Poetry writing- When writing poetry for fun, the only real intended audience is I. In terms of “stance” my attitude towards the topic depends on the type of poetry I am writing. If it is a sad poem, my attitude will be more negative. But if it is a happy poem or a poem about romance, my attitude will be more jolly and charismatic; the tone is all dependent on the genre of poem. Also, the medium won’t have much effect on the poem, because writing for fun leaves you not many restrictions.
