Compare and contrast the audiences of Trask's essay and Knier's essay. While doing this you will want to identify the audience of each piece and point out some specific elements of each text that let you know who the audiences are. Are the readers of these pieces specialists or not? What tone does each author take? Are these tones appropriate?
Next, compare and contrast how these two movie trailers have different audiences. Address the way the stories are presented, the types of characters that are created, the fonts that are used in the trailers, the tone, color, dress, etc.
You must include at least one quote from EACH PIECE of your reading for this blog or you will not receive full credit!
Knier's essay was directed more towards a general audience in the way that he wrote or his tone. He wrote with a more mellow and layed back tone that attempted to relate to the reader. He swears which gives a more layed back informal tone " It was like walking into a dream world since everything I really wanted (not cds or dvds and shit) ...".
Trask's essay was more formal and was directed towards specialists or government officials because her vocabulary is larger and she states cases and talks about different organzations in her argument that government officials would know about. " ... the state of Hawai'i created an Office of Hawaiian Affairs, or OHA, in 1980. Os for represenation of Hawaiian rights by Hawaiians".
The trailer for Bride and Prejudice targets a more diverse audience compared to that of Pride and Prejudice. Bride and Prejudice is more colorful and comical which is something that more people would watch compared to Pride and Prejudice which is more of a love story in which women are more attracted to see but men are less attracted to.
