Genre is ever-changing thing. The Bedford's Book of Genres defines a genre as representing possibility . The book goes on to say that, "A genre is a composition's kind, category, or sort." This means that genre is the place where a creation is placed among others that are in the same likeness as that creation. Kerry Dirk in her essay "Navigating Genre" furthers this definition by stating that genre is what comes to form after many writers find the same problem while writing and overcome this problem using previous authors solutions to the same problem as a guide. In Bitzer's Rhetorical Situation he presents similar situations in which a rhetorical situation prompted a response. often times he uses Presidential addresses which occur after situations one example he used was the assassination of President Kennedy. Stating that it was so "highly structured that one could predict with near certainty the themes of forthcoming discourse." The discourse an themes he is suggesting that we predict make up its own genre. Since this is a rare occasion being a presidential assassination it is also a very rare genre. The last genre I composed would be a blog genre. I am often on Facebook and I share stuff throughout the day and also express photos to help narrate whats on my mind .
