SUBJECT
Subject: something that is being discussed,
examined, or otherwise dealt with.
Whenever possible, choose something that
you know and care about: life in Cleveland,
working with learning-disabled children,
repairing motorcycles, overcoming shyness,
watching a friend struggle with drug addiction,
playing soccer.
To find or focus your subject, ask yourself:
What special experience or expertise do I
have?
What inspires, angers, or motivates me? What
do I love to do?
What story in the news affected me recently?
What campus, job, or community problem do I
have ideas about solving?
Audience
Audience: a group of people assembled to
watch and listen to a show, concert, film, or
speech
How you approach your subject will depend
on your audienceyour readers. Are you
writing for your professor, classmates, boss,
closest friend, youngsters in the community,
or the editor of a newspaper?
Keeping your audience in mind helps you
To focus on your audience, ask yourself:
For whom am I writing? Who will read this?
How much do they know about the subject?
Are they beginners or experts?
Will they likely agree or disagree with my
ideas?
Purpose
Purpose: the goal or intended outcome of
something.
Finally, keeping your purpose in mind will help
you write more effectively. Do you want to
explain something to your readers, persuade
them that a certain view is correct, entertain
them, tell a good story, or some combination
of these?
