We divided up some of the topics that we came up with so each person can do some research and then we plan to meet again soon to talk about what we found. Our idea for our thesis is to show how various types of writing have similarities and common goals even though they are all very different. Some examples of the similarities of types of writing and author's goals that we came up with while brainstorming were the use of performance in every type of writing, the goal of persuading the reader and proving their point, and showing the author's reality. Our general format for our wiki will be each type of writing as the titles and each similarity\/goal as subtitles. While brainstorming, we thought that most types of writing fall under the following categories:
\n
\n -Sciences
\n -Law
\n -Poetry
\n -Business
\n -Humanities
\n -Prose
\n -Fiction
\n -Non-fiction
\n
\nIn each of those categories, we plan to address to similarities\/goals...
\n -performance
\n -persuading the reader
\n -proving a point
\n -showing author's reality
\n
\nThe conclusion will remind our reader that every type of writing appears to be different but each type has the common goals that we discussed.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"17265661","body":"Thanks for posting this, Julia. Sounds as if your group's been thinking a lot about this. I have a couple of suggestions.
\n
\n1. You should start putting your subheadings on the wiki page. You can always add or subtract from them as you do your research. As you think of things or find things write them on the page under the appropriate subheading. Having it on the page will allow you to see how much you actually have done and what you still need to do.
\n
\nSome of the categories you have above need to be re-thought. There's a lot of overlap. Everything is prose (except poetry). Everything is non-fiction (except for fiction and poetry). I'd also probably stay away from poetry and fiction since they are so different from more typical types of writing.
\n
\nYou don't mention audience in your list of things that writers probably are concerned about in all types of writing, but you need to think about that. Also, all writing isn't trying to argue for a point. Sometimes writing is just reporting on something or teaching someone how to do something, right? What about the format of various types of writing? Have you thought about that? What does a legal brief look like? What parts does it have? What about an article in engineering (to pick one of the sciences) or a business letter? Think about the formal aspects of types of writing.
\n
\nKeep up the good work you've been doing in thinking about these things. Let me know what questions you have or how I can help.
