Audience and genre are both crucial pieces that make up a paper. Your audience is who will be critiquing or evaluating you. The genre will either help or damage your audiences thoughts and opinions of your work. Our blackboard reading discusses the importance of the correlation by stating, "...even your choice of genre(memo,essay,email,note,speech)-are all influenced by
the audience you envision.(Page 5)" The audience that you are going to write to will need a specific genre of writing that will meet their needs for the particular paper they are reading. Determining what response you want the audience to have or simply what message you need to get across to the audience will help in determining a specific genre. An example of this connection is as follows. If I am writing to an unknown audience on an academic level, I will want to write in a formal manor to professional express my discoveries or positions. That way my audience will see more credibility in my work when they are reading my paper.
