Rationale

The type of written text that I have chosen to produce is a letter to the editor, I have chosen to produce this type of text so that I may be able to not only shine light on the matter of texting but to also be able to state my opinion on the topic it's self. The perspective this response it being written will be from a person who finds the topic of texting interesting and is fascinated by the discussion going around whether it is a negative or positive impact on language. The targeted audience will be the reader of the Time's magazine. The intended purpose of the response is to display the different opinions going around about texting, and to not only explain my thoughts and opinions but to also be able to show just exactly how this particular topic effects the world and everyone on it. The context of this particular piece of writing will contain both social and historical settings. The social setting will explain the modern day perception of the topic and the historical setting will the explain the older perception of the topic . I intend to explore particular aspects of both the topic and the text by communicating the explanation of how different people view the affect of texting on the younger generation and around the world, but most importantly I want to be able to explain an insight into how texting affects language and technology. The structure and stylistic conventions of type of text I have chosen to emulate are:

* Rhetorical questions

* Powerful adjectives

* Emotive language

* Evidence to support

*Clear introduction and conclusion
