Discourse Community Essay

Genres can have a different outcome the reader’s conclusion and even change the intended purpose. A writer should identify what genre best fits the discourse that it will be presented, for example a blog and an article can differently represent the landscaping discourse community even if it is related or about the same dialog, the message can be interpreted differently in one genre to the other because of the structure each. Genres can also automatically provide writers and readers options that will allowed them to respond to any publication or post. Every genre does not only have a way for being structured but also to respond to the writer, this would include being formal, format, and place of publication.

A blog is a conversation where users can share personal-ideas, thoughts, opinions, based on facts or myths that are formed by multiple individuals. Usually a blog is an open conversation for anyone with internet access that finds a blog and decides to participate. This method of communication takes place on numerous web sites on the World Wide Web, or more known as the “internet”, it is very common to encounter blogs on just about any subject when doing online searching.  There is not really a format that takes place on the writing found a blog it depends on the user’s decision on how they want to post their message, and reply periods can go from instant to longer periods even up to months. The audience attracted depends on the subject it takes place and maybe a few spectators that want to learn from the different aspects, and most persuasion is provided with giving positive feat back along with advantages that support their opinion.  One main difference between this genre and others is that is formed by amateur writers, where just about anyone with internet access can subscribe to a blog. 

            An article is formed by clear details found by reporter or researcher, written on academic rules for articles that appear in journals and other periodicals that can slightly differentiate depending where the article appears and who authored the content. Articles are found in magazines, news papers, online, journals and other sources, and are created with a couple of purposes one for example is to inform and provide information that is believed will be for the interest of a large group of people with the purpose to attract the largest amount of readers to reach advertisement, this kind mostly found in magazines, newspapers, and online. There are other articles that are written with the intention to inform the public of a discovery or results of research performed on any subject or to give a personal point of view of and individual or a discourse community. The art of writing that is involved in an article is to create the most powerful meaningful message possible in a compressed piece of text. Each article can somewhat be directed to the intended audience by the media it’s published on and its audience can be persuade by facts, opinions from a reliable source but, an author can have a major impact whether the readers is convinced of the work presented on a article. What differentiates an article from other genres is that the writer has to be more cautious with the work published to intent writing based on facts if not strong believes and sources to avoid negative critique and to avoid loosing credibility. 

In an article the landscaping community was brought up on article as a group of individuals that others should keep caution at the time of hiring because of fraud cases in the pass that did involved construction contractors.  This directly affects the landscaper discourse community as if it is a fact that all landscape contractors practice fraudulent acts. Based on this article and with my personal experience being a part of outdoor construction community, my opinion is that an article can be wrongly off and that the truth can majorly be affected by the author’s personal point of view.  The advantage found in a blog is that the readers can input personal opinion and proof by providing  sources by simply sharing tools such as links, websites, along with information of sites for other readers to search the on the subject.  At the very end when it comes to looking for the truth or for any information the reader can find it with more accuracy by choosing the best genre or multiple, to create a conclusion and use it as the intertextuality for their own publication.

 

Discourse Community Memo

 

 

Dear Mr. Monty,

 

            This is Miguel Belman from your English 1301 class on MWF at 3:00-4:50 PM Valle Verde Campus. The discourse I present is of today’s landscaping business, that I personally find my self involved in it because of a small business I own (Gorilla Tree).  You will find my discourse community map as an attachment to this e mail.

            In Gorilla Tree our goal is to maintain a happy pleasant working environment along with providing an excellent quality work for our customers. Our strength is build on the daily basis by making this company bigger and better with the best employees and equipment possible. But like any other company we do encounter problems on a daily basis, but our main problem is new inexperienced competitors with ridiculous low prices, with the consequence of poor quality service that leads to the distrust of our discourse community and changes our intertextuality of honest landscapers.

            There are many other good groups out there ready to provide great service as well, but it is the job of you the consumer to manipulate the market by not only considering what you will be paying monetarily but also by making better choices that will help you achieve a better outcome of your next home improvement project.

 

 

 

Sincerely, Miguel Belman

Image Analysis

 

 

This is billboard from Delta Lawn And Landscaping co. on the right side there we find the image of a beautiful home with nice green trimmed bushes, well mowed and edged green lawn, with a perfect rounded green tree to the right side of the house. We’ll go deeper into a full understanding of this billboard and the purpose of the post.

 

This advertisement bill board provides the observers with an example if a great looking yard, and provides viewers an immediate solution, the company name along with the phone number. This caption has the company logo “a triangle” a symbol that can represent mathematical derivative of approximating distribution. In this image the triangle is the used as the company logo but as well to support the linguistics on this bill board “Delta Lawn and Landscaping” which is the name of the company. Therefore this corporative is one that distributes lawn and landscaping services, to grow further into the community by being exposed to the public as advertized.

 

Just by focusing on the pure image even the image behind the companies name and phone number forms part of the anecdotally. The image there is a-pare of green leaves that implies the feeling of wanted refreshing nature. As a signifier o peace that can provide a relaxing moment of vacation at your door step. To understand this peace that is found with the light colors and the green along with leaves will automatically provide that feeling to most humans. Second sing is found at the background where the image fades just as we were walking in to the heavens with a smooth transition peaceful shade. This sings are provided to create a necessity for the creation of that heaven that can be in our own space. The delta sing and advertisement is to inform the public that they can be capable of recreating your personal scenario as we always dreamed since we were kids, to have that awesome green lawn and heavenly look that gives that auto welcome feeling.

 

Even if the name of the company writing of this bill board was to be taken off along with the symbol the pair of leaves and the phone number, if were left with nothing but the soft shaded back ground, with the beautiful house with healthy looking shrubs and trees the idea of owning a nice cozy place but with the mix of our own ideas and wants most likely will cross our minds. As a reaction to that want and possibilities available the observer may intent to contact a company or someone that has knowledge of this type art to acquirer this new goal.

 

With out knowing day to day we are exposed all kinds of advertisements and messages that can be purposely hidden in images to provide us with three messages a linguistic although this one is probable separated and the other two would be iconic and a non-coded iconic message. An iconic in the Delta-bill board is shown as the triangle that has different meanings but in this case it goes hand by hand with the linguistic part of the image DELTA. The non-coded is the different parts of the image that brings the scenario provided as an example. The culture has a great role-play in the understanding of this bill board, to those who where brought up with the idea that are homes should be taken care of and well kept, but now days with the busy lives that we carry on there is hardly any time left for such things, and that is why companies like Delta Lawn and Landscaping
