The purpose of opinion pieces is to express the author's view on a topic. The opinion piece I chose was about the feelings a new biography on Steve Jobs brought out in people who knew Jobs. Readers usually find opinion pieces in magazines or newspapers and sometimes under a specific area designated for opinion pieces. The typical audience are people who usually read the newspaper and are interested in what the editor has to say. For example, the author of my article is gives his opinion on why the new book is unnecessary. In a way he's representing his boss because he is the author of the first Jobs biography, and therefore is also representing the New York Times. Something that distinguishes opinion pieces from other genres is that the authors have the liberty to have a position and state their opinion. My definition of opinion pieces are any form of expression of the editor or author's feelings about any matter, whether through words or images. I can use this genre for my topic because not many people are aware of the research that has been done throughout the years, since it's mostly directed to an highly educated background or at least has basic knowledge on organ market, and make it accessible to a broader audience. I can present the sides of the issue and start building my opinion by adding rhetorical devices that appeal to emotions.
Purpose of the genre was an artist’s opinion on how the "yellow shirts" or as we call them security treated them as artists at the fair. The author tells us her story about what happened to her that day at the fair and how cruelly she was treated and childishly kicked out of the fair. Readers would find this reading the Tucson weakly on the opinion pages; Letters to Editors. Your typical audience would be Tucsonans and mainly people who are actively involved in fairs and community work on 4th ave or Tucson downtown in general, also small time Tucsonan artists. What makes this text unique is that the author narrates her story and clearly states the problem and how it was resolved on behalf of the security and her opinion on how they resolved the problem, in which she was clearly not a fan of. i would say this genre talks about how a person feels when they don't have the power to resolve a problem and they view the person who solved the problems view and solution.
