The writer of this text is Elizabeth Wardle. She is a professor and Center Director for Writing Excellence at the University of Miami. The primary audience for this text is mainly geared towards students because she is telling you to sit down and write as to if you had no prior knowledge of how to write. This text is nonfiction because what she is saying is true. The main argument of this text is that it is impossible to start writing without having prior knowledge on how to write. She also argued that no matter how much experience or knowledge you have of writing there’s always room of error and more space to learn about writing. Her main argument is different than the other writers because they are more structured with their views on writing. The texts primary rhetorical purpose is trying to persuade and inform to the audience that having a background knowledge on writing helps you write and the more experience you have with it the better you may be.

I agree with the audience you chose for both texts. I felt that Wardle’s was an easier read and that is why it was geared for students while Miller’s was a little tougher and it was obvious that it was for rhetoricians. Until class today I did not really have a strong definition of genre from Miller’s work, but now I have come to understood it better. I did not realize genre was more than just fiction or nonfiction-that’s all I have ever really been taught.
