What have you learned about the rhetorical writing situation (genre, audience, purpose, persona, context and/or medium)? How did your thinking about any of these concepts impact your composing choices?

The rhetorical situation calls upon the writer to approach composition as a multi-faceted problem. The audience, genre, purpose, persona, context, and medium all present their needs at the same time. The composition process is, therefore, an attempt to address the requirements of each one of these concepts at the same time but in a manner than facilitates cohesion across all of them. Harmonizing these elements into a vivid, accurate, and informative piece of writing is, therefore, a challenge that must be deeply pre-meditated and approach carefully and with very refined objectives. Medium, context, and the purpose, in particular, are important because in my opinion, they house the persona, and even determine the audience. That being the case, I was particularly keen on purpose and medium; looking at purpose, context, and medium at the same time informs a key question: how did the purpose of writing and the context of the composition inform the selection of the medium? I have realized that the thematic concerns of the text determine the construction of the persona and the genre of the composition as well as the audience and how it is viewed by the composer.

How did you make decisions about what to write about, and how to develop your own persona as a writer for this project?
