Page 63 Number 9

My audience in question number 9 is most likely parents, especially mothers, who need to go grocery shopping. Another potential audience would be directed towards children because they are the ones who most likely eat the peanut butter. The general attitude of the audience is most likely an indifferent one. Parents may be slightly irritated at the reminder of going shopping and children could potentially be excited because they do not have to buy or shop for the product, they only have to enjoy it. The audience needs to know where to find the peanut butter, any benefits that particular brand has over other brands (example: extra nutrients), and the cost of the peanut butter/if there is a special deal.

My audience in question number 11 is the potential employer. The potential employer's general attitude towards the cover letter sent with the resume is probably positive and excited because people are interested in the job opening. The potential employer needs to know from the cover letter information about the interested, potential employee. Some information on the cover letter may include name, phone number, and email address. The resume itself needs to have lists of the potential employee's skills, qualifications, and achievements. The audience (potential employer) needs to receive the message that the employee is interested and qualified for the job opening.
