Grant-Davie defined purpose in relationship to writing as what is trying to be accomplished by the writing and how to understand it. My idea of purpose did not change after this reading but, I would say it helped further my definition of purpose. I see purpose connected to all these terms because you have to figure out the purpose of the writing or reading so that you can figure out the meaning of the other terms. For example, you need to find the purpose to find out the genre and what the writer wants the audience to get out of the reading.
In Greene’s essay he talked about having a good question and making sure that you are gaining new knowledge of the subject instead of just looking for things on the subject. I plan to conduct my interview in person and coming prepared. I will bring a questions sheet that I specific to the things I want my person to answer. I will have already researched the questions and gathered my information, so that I can discuss the questions with them and not just listen.
I only have a question on if my question is good enough? I think it might be hard to find things on ym question.
