At first when I heard these words rhetoric and genres, I dint have a clue what they were or what they meant. After reading and looking over these chapters I learned that when you are writing a paper or a letter it always has to have a purpose. Especially when I used to write  a paper I dint really think of having an audience.but by looking at how having an audience, it can really help me write a paper more easily.When it came to Genres what I liked was that it helped me how to organize a narrative paper.All these knew ideas can really help me in school at work but even for a future job.Maybe even in an interview.I will definitely try to use all this information when I'm writing a paper.It can help me improve in my grades.I could say these two concepts were difficult and interesting for me but after going over them I can understand it more and I can definitely learn a lot.
