Genre Analysis: 'Let Mit Be Mit': But Who Was He?

       When you listen to this audio article you automatically put it into the genre of Politics and such. The general audience for this article is basically any American citizen interested in the outcome of this year's Presidential Election or more specifically people interested in Politics and what exactly Mitt Romney did wrong in his campaign to ultimately end up coming short of his goal of becoming the United States next president. When it comes to the content in this article, as previously stated, the author talked about how Mitt Romney made many little mistakes. He didn't really make any major mistakes and his campaign was just fine, but there were moments when the little details were overlooked by him and certain states just lost their interest in him which ultimately resulted in him losing many electoral colleges' votes because he did not attain the majority vote in some important states. One example would be in Michigan when Mitt Romney started over-thinking all of the statements he made and would say things such as, "the trees are just fine here" and it left some of his supporters confused on where he was going with this campaign and planned policies. Another example would be one great thing that he did and that was when he met with a Leukaemia  patient in dying health and everyone related back to that and it warmed people's hearts. All in all, this was a great article that really got to the point and gave great details. It would definitely be in the Political Genre.

I'm thinking about doing my project on:
-Math majors
-Film Majors
-Architecture Majors

  1. These are great ideas and you will do a great job! Math and architecture are pretty similar, but film isn’t similar to them. You could craft a story for math by interviewing professors, crafting your story by finding out what someone with a math major can do or how the math professors transitioned from working with math in the real world to teaching it. You could argue that people in a math major have many future job options. For architecture, you could interview students and see what kind of work they are doing, if they get to be creative with their architecture classes or if they are more structured. You could argue for architecture that this major is essential for the future with new and upcoming technologies and lifestyles, such as people in this profession now constructing “green” buildings.
