...a particular audience and commenting on why the illustration was selected for that audience. Since this is an internet advertisement it is aimed at global audiences. The advertisement was intended for many different people around the globe to see. The writer of the ad used a man in his picture.

...Performance is what makes the live hood of oral literature. It means that it is the live execution and realization of oral art. It also includes the responses of the audiences before whom the oral artist performs. It involves both the psychological and the physical being of the performer and his or her audiences (Bukenya and Nandwa, 1983). Performance is generally understood as the delivery or rendition of an item usually to an audience (Minuka, 1994). That means performance is the demarcation between the performer and his or her audience. It’s guided by certain tacit regulation to which every participant subscribes. There is an orderly sequence of events and the context of performance defined or recognized, that means there is a logical connection of words. (Lo-Liyong, 1972), defines Oral literature as the cultural information and values transmitted by the spoken word and received by the ear and responded to by the whole organism in societies where writing was (and still is) not yet the order of the day. Folktales, legends, beliefs, poems, proverbs, tales, council discussions are its forms.\ Oral literature allows for self expression, renewal, innovation and creativity. It gives understanding of our routs and ourselves, let say our culture, our thinking, our life style, our values and our whole philosophy of life is based on that culture where it has been transmitted from one generation to the next generation. Oral literature is the kind of literature which is spread...

...reader or audience for the text ideally must care enough to read or otherwise take in the text and pay attention. A rhetorical situation invites audience responses and results. Most authors have a targeted reading audience in mind. An audience might change their views as a conclusion and will mediate change or act in a new way. The author creates an argument to convince a particular audience. The text is the argument. Whether it is written, visual, or spoken, the text will have characteristics you can analyze. The end or conclusion either summarizes by restating important points or concludes by emphasizing the most important point, whatever it is that the author wants you to accept, remember, believe or agree.

According to Wikipedia, Public speaking is the process and act of speaking or giving a lecture to a group of people in a structured, deliberate manner intended to inform, influence, or entertain a listening audience. Public speaking is commonly understood as face-to-face speaking between individuals and an audience for the purpose of communication. It is closely allied to "presenting", although the latter is more often associated with commercial activity. Most of the time, public speaking is to persuade the audience; with this definition, I can firmly say that I did plenty of public speaking in my young life. Now, if you asked me if I was successful when I had the podium, then that is different story. I know I can use more training in all aspects of speaking in public. What does your report seem to suggest about your level of communication apprehension? My communication apprehension report suggest...

...and the audience is a crucial element to the success of the artwork in its historical era. Titian’s traditional Renaissance symbolism and style of painting made his work a masterpiece of his time. According to art critic Brand Hamlee Titian’s work met the “demands of an admiring public. As he was particularly famous for his portraits and mythological works” this created a positive relationship between “Venus of Urbino” and the intended Renaissance audience. The relationship between the artwork and the audience is also evident through the Renaissance symbolism throughout his artwork, Venus seductive glaze captured Renaissance viewers and the high quality of Venetian light and tone to perfection was a vital characteristic to the success of the artwork to its intended audience. In addition, using symbolism, which had significance to the Renaissance mythological style also strengthened the relationship between the artist and the artwork. The Spaniel represents a symbol of fidelity a strong theme in Renaissance art as well as the use of roses, myrtle tree and the Spaniel were traditionally associated with the goddess Venus. The Brush strokes and pale rosy and ochre colours luxuriously applied created the central tones of the Venus body is an essential symbol of Renaissance sensuality, beauty and desire that was praised by all audiences. Although the intended Renaissance audience understood the key symbolism, the relationship between the artwork and the contemporary audience is slightly...

...into his rich and successful business. We see Eric as immature and at the start of the play we see his anxiety, as if he knows that something will go wrong that night. As Eric and his family learn more about his shocking relationship with Eva, he seems to undergo a dramatic change in which he accepts responsibility for his vile treatment of Eva and breaks away from the capitalist limitations that his parents have set him. Towards the end of the play we see Eric agree with the inspector, who seems to be the righteous view of morality and also agree with Sheila who has undergone the most dramatic change and has accepted social responsibility forever. In order for us to recognise Eric’s change, his flaws first have to made abundant to the audience. Priestly obliges through the stage directions he set for Eric. He describes him as “not quite at ease” showing that he could be uncomfortable at the prospect of an evening with his mother and father or more likely that he is worried, that events with regards to Eva will be revealed. Priestly also describes Eric as “half shy, half assertive”. This seemingly duel personality, could highlight Eric’s drinking problems, which through drunkenness, has left him unsure of himself and without a set personality. From this we see how unsure Eric is of himself. His character is living in a family of wealthy Capitalists but unlike Sheila he is not “pleased with life” but rather quite the opposite. This only highlights his problems and hints to the...

...Letter From Birmingham Jail Vs. “I Have a Dream Speech” The first way that a “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” and “ I have a Dream” differ are in their intended audience, as one is intended for a group of white clergymen while the other is intended to rally a large group. This difference in audience and how Dr. King chooses to appeal to each of his audiences causes for the choices in language and the purpose of “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” and “I have a Dream” to differ. “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is addressed to white clergymen, and the purpose of the letter is to defend the demonstrations that were taking place. As Dr. King is trying to defend the demonstrations to these white clergymen, his language choice is quite interesting. One brilliant way that he chooses to defend the demonstrations is by appealing to the white men through his choice of Anglo terms. For instance, in the letter, Dr. King writes, “Just as the prophets of the eighth century century B.C. left their villages and carried their “thus saint the Lord” far beyond the boundaries of their home towns…I am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town” (King). This choice of wording makes Dr. King’s argument stronger since as these white men disagree with Dr. King and his form of peaceful protest, the white clergymen will not be able to argue back because he is using religious references that if the white men chose to argue against, it would make them look like hypocrites (Eubank). While...

On the "Abstracts: Examples" page, you will also find sample Undergraduate Symposium abstracts from a variety of disciplines. What is an abstract? An abstract is a concise summary of a larger project (a thesis, research report, performance, service project, etc.) that concisely describes the content and scope of the project and identifies the project’s objective, its methodology and its findings, conclusions, or intended results. Remember that your abstract is a description of your project (what you specifically are doing) and not a description of your topic (whatever you’re doing the project on). It is easy to get these two types of description confused. Since abstracts are generally very short, it’s important that you don’t get bogged down in a summary of the entire background of your topic. As you are writing your abstract, stop at the end of every sentence and make sure you are summarizingthe project you have undertaken rather than the more general topic. Do abstracts vary by discipline (science, humanities, service, art, or performance)? Abstracts do vary from discipline to discipline, and sometimes within disciplines. Abstracts in the hard...

...aspects of film, and it is important for several reasons. Firstly, it can be crucial for the director, because it means that they can use symbols and settings from previous films of the same genre to trigger an emotional response from the audience. Genre also places limit on the director, because each genre has its own conventions and guidelines; it prevents the director from straying too far for the storyline with their themes and therefore losing the intended audience. Genre is also important when it comes to marketing because it is easier to promote a film with a clear genre, as it is usually aimed at a particular audience. So, it can be quite difficult to market a film without any p particular genre, or with multiple genres. An example of this is 'Donnie Darko', which was a huge flop when it was first released, partially due to the fact that audiences didn't understand it, but also partially due to the fact that it contains elements of several genres, which made it difficult to promote. Additionally, genre allows the audience to develop their own personal preferences which means that if a film is of their preferred genre, they are more inclined to go and see it. Along with allowing personal preferences to develop, genre can also give the audience expectations of a film depending on what genre it is and this helps to give an idea of what the film is about, which assists them in deciding whether or not they want to go and see it. On the other hand, there are more reasons nowadays...
