Audience is a critical part of any effective writing. Knowing the skills and traits of the person you are writing to can help you choose word choice, tone, and overall theme. It also allows you to play on the emotions of your audience. In the case of my essay, I will write in a very formal style and with a serious tone. I am writing critically and I wish to prove a point. Because i'm writing to a proffessor or educational superior, I am not limited at all by word choice. If I were writing to a child about the beatles, I would be inclined to use simpler language and less complicated concepts. If i were writing a children's story, I would employ simple writing tactics such as the use of alliterations and other simple writing techniques to keep a young mind entertained. Audience is a very important part of my writing, and it is very important for this essay.
