Differentiating between genres:
The two articles given in the course readings have different genres and are distinct in various aspects. After reading the article, Navigating Genre has explained the content accustomed to its title. The author, Dirk, elaborated on Blitzer’s statement about the genre. The author was of the point that response has an important place in the actions and the communication. For example, if something happens, it will require a response to compensate, and if something new happens, another response is required. The previous response will take a new position, and a new genre will be developed. The author has explained that the genre has certain features that keep on changing, and it has been found that the changing features do not let anyone get expertise in communication, writing, or speaking of the specific genre. There has always been a certain room to improve in the particular genre. The explanation of genre is linked to the discourse communities because they deal with the communicative aspect. The responses are interlinked, and while mentioning the new responses, the previous responses must be cited. It has been explained in one of the articles, the discussion in the other is different.
