Audience is something that I do not give too much thought towards. In the past assignment I felt that I wrote in an elementary style. It wasn’t layered with meaning, nor was the language and structure complicated. I wrote in a style of what I imagine to be the wide spread generally educated public. I know that any ones image of and writing to that audience can be problematic, so I guess in a way the main audience I wrote to was my self.
To be honest I really don’t care about the approach of this purpose, context, controlling purpose jumbo. That’s why I guess I would say I was writing to my self. I rarely take a step back and look at my work, and give my self time to reflect. I feel this is one of my largest setbacks, and is exactly what I plan to work on with assignment two. I have no other purpose for the content of special delivery other than to improve my own writing strategies, so I am having a hard time caring for it.

Assignment 1: Paranoid

As some of you may already know my name is Nicholas, and that means you already know too much. Some of you probably have my social security number, a copy of my passport, and a picture of me in a drag. I have a minimal presence on facebook and myspace, but that doesn’t matter. They can track you anywhere you go! Have you recently got a new debit/credit card? Almost all of them contain RFID chips, so they can track you by satellite from the hills around Altoona, PA to the slums of Buenos Aeries.
My job obviously has a lot to do with writing on the internet. Since you already know too much I can only say that the algorithm of the Amazon sales rank is as deceptive as any character Peter Lorre played. And, if that reference hasn’t given my age away my disdain of twitter might. I think HST said it best that the “truth is not told between the hours of 9 to 5”, and twitter is a 24 hour cycle of the 9 to 5 mentality.
