Getting To Know Your Audience Blog

I greatly enjoyed the 20 question game. It gave me a lot of insight as to who is in English 101 without getting to meet the person. I was impressed with the questions asked as well. Some were very insightful into getting to know a person. My favorite question was "Which road would you take and why? The neat, trimmed stone path that everyone travels? Or would you take the overgrown trail that leads into the deep forest? Both take you to the same destination." This question was split down the middle. My favorite answer was "The neat and trim stone path is skipping through life not really shaping who we are or why we are here," and "The over grown trail in the deep forest is going to require some clearing and some big mistakes in navigating to that destination." I thought these answers were amazing and so true. Nothing in life is every easy.  It is the trials and tribulations that shape us into the people we are today. I also noticed that we have a great age range in this class. I noticed this on the TV show question. There were some great shows listed and the shows picked would give you a good idea what generation each person may be from.  Another one of my favorite question was which time period would you live in. I was surprised that so many of us put the 1950's. Most everyone seemed to have the same idea, it was simple and family oriented. I thought all the questions were amazing though. I know that most of the "kids" in our class are family oriented. Some of them are married and have kids and are trying to make a better life for themselves and their families. In the end we all have the same common goal. We all want to be great at what we love to do and help people along the way.
