Genres plays a very big role in rhetorical situations. Just to note rhetorical situations include a person, a topic, a genre, and a audience. Like when someone is talking about something in things like a speech it has a genre, a topic, and most of the time an audience.
I used this in my first project MWA#1.I did a website for discourse community and wrote about the aspects about the discourse community I was included in which was a retail store. The significance is that I had to consider topics/questions that the customers would bring up, the customers themselves, the end goal of each daily shift with co-workers. I displayed that all on the website I have created.
For my second project MWA#2, my memoir, the genre was horror and I felt that my audience was the person that was reading it/or another student from my class. I tried to include as much detail to I could entrap the reader into my story with the images I said I saw in my experience.
For my third project MWA#3 was pretty much the same as my second project just with more enthusiasm. I wanted it to feel like a creepy and funny story so when I did the video I put more personality into the story to make it more interesting to listen to.
