Document Summary
Writers write for some audience, not for nothing. Example: journal writing, or blog when writing we carefully choose our words because we know that we will reread it in the future. Writing: process meant to be examined by another, directed to a particular member. All writers write for an anticipated reader, group of people who share similar view points. When we read a text we are automatically part of the intended readers. Communicative act between a writer and a reader. When modifying text, we are maintain relationship between writer and reader because we are writing to an intended reader. Writer roughly knows who his readers are, similar interests, has an intended group of readers in mind. When writer and reader are in coordination solidarity example: incident (bomb ) reader has personal experience with incident and writer has written in a fashion that is satisfactory = solidarity. We are expected to anticipate some of the infos.
