RIP Proposal #1: Newspaper Article Focusing On the Effect Memes Have On Our Society
This newspaper article is focused on delivering a message about the effect that memes have on our societies. Memes have become widespread and accessible in the society today. The newspaper would focus on sending a message on how memes have become widespread in several high schools and how they have affected how teens think in several ways. The focus will be on the negative and the positive effects so that people get to understand how it affects the society. What stuck out to me about this specific project is the level of creativity that it allows. I can also directly expand on my writing abilities through the different sections of text that I would provide. The genre would be of an informative and comedic style in order to keep the target audience entertained while also providing facts in an analytic matter. The audience would consist of people of both genders and range from young adults to the middle-aged in order to accommodate all those aware of our current culture switch. The persona I would play would be that of a professional newspaper author, and the historical context of the piece would take place in the present time.

This project will ultimately showcase what I’ve learned throughout this course through my ability to connect with an audience and how to rhetorically analyze what it is that I do. The reason why I chose this project is that it allows me to showcase my understanding of different rhetorical situations and how to connect with an audience. I also have a strong love for movies, so doing a project such as this would undoubtedly be of enjoyment to me. The message I will be sending with this poster is that movies are meant for entertainment and relaxation. I want to make the people know that they would enjoy watching movies as they will allow them to have a moment of relaxation. The genre would come off as almost comic in order to attract a younger audience. The age group that’s most targeted would range all the way from kids to young adults, and this will include people of both genders. The persona I would be playing would be that of a movie’s designer/advertisement department. The historical context of this project would play into our present time.
