Social Perspective questions

A.
1. The textual perspective they assume that it's static, that there is a formula for producing the genre.
-Study the text to identify how the text could be shortened or simplified.

2. The individual perspective is more interested in the writing process rather then the formula.
-They assume that the text is an individual creation. 

3. The social perspective assumes that the writer is trying to appeal to an audience to accomplish something. 
-Thinking about the purpose for the document, whose going to be reading it, what you want them to do about it. 
-The genre was created by people over time. They saw a certain purpose they needed to achieve, so certain documents came into being.
