During the start of the writing process every writer must identify the audience that his work will reach; not only would this increase sales and have his work spread further towards other persons but additionally be much more comprehend-able. In both of my previous written tasks my thesis topic stayed relatively the same, something to do with immigration and either the positive or a negative stance on its effects towards the host nation and its people; primarily writing to influence an average blue collar working American.

For my next task I plan on continuing the same intended audience as well, due to my families’ and communities’ closeness to this group, but additionally, possibly, also widen my audience to include the white-collar working class. I feel as if attempting to include another audience would show my neutrality on the topic and be taken as more of uniting piece without a bias of supporting or demoting one side. I feel as if using a genre of narrative writing as well as Expository writing would not only present facts on which my essay will stand for, but the use of narrative writing would create an emotional pull-on reader to use empathy, which they can imagine and react to how certain effects or causes of immigration can make one feel. I believe my essay would use all three rhetorical strategies, first to build my credibility I would use logos and to subtlety influence the readers stance on the composition I would employ the use of pathos. I must make sure that I don’t damage my credibility by choosing a stance to be successful in my writing.
