Here is my letter. Any comments would be helpful

I really liked this reading. It gave me a really good perspective on writing. I never thought of considering what kind of environment the reading will be in when they read the document. I have a major problem with find the right words to use while I am writing. I really liked the different aspects of context mentioned on page 8.It give me a much clearer idea of what all I should keep in mind while writing. These are things you know, but actually having a list makes it easier to remember and ensure that you kept the aspects in mind while writing. The most helpful part is the project checklist.

I found chapter 1 on writing and rhetoric in context to be very informative. I learned that "context shapes your motive for writing about and, thus, acting on the world". "As a writer yourself, you already know that one of the greatest challenges is to use the right word at the right time in the right place." I believe that this a great quote that every writer should live by. In regards to selecting the proper words for a given occasion, I agree with the greek concept meaning of timelessness and suiting the word for occasion, "kairos".

Chapter 1 of the text really helped but “context” in perspective for me as far as communicating goes. It did a great job explaining the concept and most of the examples helped me quite a bit to understand what the text was actually telling me. Most helpful I found were the pictures followed by questions, it helped me understand how context can change pretty quickly depending on many different factors. It’s someone one doesn’t always remember to think about when writing in today’s world.
