I have posted my genre analysis. This analysis analyzes a photograph titled “Stoopidity-ness” from www.ebaumsworld.com and a political cartoon titled “Why Johnny Can’t Read” by Steve Greenberg. The political cartoon was retrieved from www.politicalcartoons.com. The analysis will cover the style of the two genres, the audience members the genres apply to, the purpose of the genres, the structure of the genres, and the specialized language that the genres use.
Illiteracy is defined as a lack of ability to read and write or the lack of any or enough education. Illiteracy rates in the United States have sky-rocketed in the last 30 years, with the number of illiterate adults increasing by 2.25 million people each year. Forty-two million adult Americans cannot read. Approximately 50 percent of the nation’s unemployed youth ages 16-21 are illiterate and have almost no prospects of getting a good job.
