Awareness of Audience and Voice Introduction

For my “Awareness of voice and audience” piece, I have chosen my discussion board post in the Discussion Forum for DB 1: "Traditions: Embrace Them or Attack Them?" on February 18, 2011. I wrote this for my classmates and especially for my younger classmates. I wrote this from the voice of an “older person” as I made note of me being “a young child (about 100 years ago)”, from this perspective, I wanted to let my classmates know that it’s okay to challenge and question tradition, but to be respectful as I wrote, “I have found that although I didn't "embrace" Catholicism, I do respect it and in my father's mind, rebelled against it.” I challenged my audience to not follow blindly, follow their convictions and love one another at all cost. Like most writers, I feel like I have a lot to say. I hope that I am interesting, intelligent and entertaining enough that people will agree.
