Know Your Audience Analysis

It was neat to read through the different responses to the questions and interesting to see what questions were asked. It appears that most took advantage of the ELO opportunity also.

I think the question that really helped me see the other personalities in this class was Jaclyn’s question “Which road would you take and why? The neat, trimmed stone path that everyone travels? Or would you take the overgrown trail that leads into the deep forest? Both take you to the same destination.” I really thought about why one path would be more beneficial over the other. After reading the responses I believe that most chose the “overgrown trail” leading into the deep forest. Those that chose this path did so because of the adventure that might go along with it, and some wanted to take this path as long as it was safe. A couple wanted to stay on the tried and true because it was like a freeway. All of these responses allowed me to know each person a little more.

Jacob’s question about which time period would you live in offered a lot of insight to me as to who we are also. I really found it amazing that about a quarter of the class wanted to live when there was no indoor plumbing or electricity, the 1800s. This surprised me personally because I really like indoor plumbing and electricity. I think that it would be neat to experience that era but there is something to be said about walking into your house and feeling the coolness from the air-conditioning and turning on the faucet and water coming out. Retro represented another quarter wanting to travel back to the 1950s, wearing poodle skirts, listening to doo-wop and living in a time that seemed simple in comparison to today. A few wanted to stay right were they are, here and now.

Even though this class offers some diversity in our backgrounds and beliefs I feel that general consensus is that we all want to eat with someone famous, we want the would we live in to be free from crime, horrific hatred, and hard economic times. We would love for there to be cures for horrible diseases, and to live in peace with one another.
