I have many questions that I would like to continue to research to find more answers that have yet to be solved or further looked at with my community. Some that I will look deeper at is why everyone lets other walk all over them for a few more dollars and little respect, aswell as why people can be so fake and not have there concisous effect by it. I know I might not be able to answer all of this the way that people who are this can, but I am going to try. My audience for this project is clearly those who pretend to be those they are not, and people in the resturant buisness who must act certain ways and do certain things to get the job done. I would like to believe that some college students might be intereged to read what I will write. I want to speak out to those who have been mistreated in there jobs and everyday life who havent found the strength to stand up because they feel that there job is more important then there self respect, I know this will be hard for those to step forward but I want them to know that I was once like them but I found the courage to move forward. I believe that teachers will be moved by what I have to say and will take that into concideration when helping those write truly what is on there minds and not what they think the teacher would like to hear.
Here is a list of my genre's I have chosen to use (Sarah if you feel that these are bad just let me know and I will find others.)
1.Obituary (One of the drunks left without being cut off so that Pete's could make a buck and on the way home he hit a kid riding his bike home in the dark.)
2.Scene from a movie/play/script (The play Ceasar I will use when he is stabbed and betrayed by many, crossing with the argument interview I saw at Pete's.)
3. Dictionary entries (I will make a list of words that I think describe Pete's and write my own thoughts of what the words really mean.)
4. Series of diary entries (I will write 3 diary entries of my experience and feelings at Pete's.)
5. Resignation Letter (I will have a full page letter of me leaving Pete's and why in ways that is more professional hidding a lot of my true feelings in respect for them, what little I have.)
6.Map (I will make a percice map of the resturant in detail of where everything is and what is looks like from a birds eye view.)
7.Memo (If I were a manager I would like to send a memo out about respect and list many other things that should have been addressed to Pete's long ago.)
8. Poems ( I will end with a poem that truly shares my feelings and thought about how I was when working there and how I am now.)

Beautiful, fascinating ideas, Amanda! I hear you discussing really different and equally fantastic target audiences. I love the idea for this project, and the idea to target people who don't speak up, don't truly speak their minds, and essentially people who are fake. You might find it helpful to focus on an even more specific audience within that (perhaps college-aged students, or restaurant managers, as you mentioned). It's only a suggestion, but you might find it helpful as you create your genres to have one or the other more in mind. It might dictate the language you use, for instance. Let me know what you think.
I know you already told me about list of genres, but upon reading them again, I just have to tell you how great I think they are! I think these are clever and wise choices for your specific purpose. I can't wait to read it!
