For the first assignment we were asked to read the Norton Field Guide on rhetoric and genres. I already knew that when writing a paper, book, journal, etc it has to appeal to a certain reader. For example, if I were writing a children's book I wouldn't include adult contact. I also learned from reading the section that when writing to make sure that my paper stays in the tense it was originally in. When writing a paper there was difficulty in that area for me. Some of my paragraphs started off in past tense and later in the paper I switched over to present tense without even paying attention. So, that is pretty much something I need to work on when writing.
These sections were very easy and understandable to read and I felt it would help me when writing assinments in the future. In the beginning I had no idea what a stance was when it came to writing and now I do. The book help me to understand that a stance was a point of view. Reading the Norton Field Guild book also help me to understand how important it is to have information that stands out to the reader and catches their attention. I also learned that paragraphs should have a nice flow and full of important details.
