Describe each genre, including the type of genre? (Remember one of the genres should be typography (written) and the other should be either an Iconography (Visual) or Audio (Oral) based.

Rhetorical Issues: How does the rhetorical situation convey the message to the selected communities? (Refer to EAA p. 69). How does the genre help establish credibility (or attempt to establish) its credibility with the audience? What types of evidence or rational information are used to support claims?

In this paper, I would like to present genre analysis of two texts belonging to entirely two different categories. The first one, famous poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost belongs to the genre of poetry and the other one is the Steve Jobs 2005 speech at Stanford’s Commencement. While among these two, the first one belong to the typography or written category, the second one however belongs to the audio genre. Both written and audio content tends to have significant impact on the minds of the readers and the listeners.
