Billy Collins’ address was similar to the literary piece Lift Off by Donovan Livingston, for both pieces considered the radical concept of time and spatial awareness whilst being non-fictional speeches

ollins knew he was delivering a speech to restless college students waiting to be graduates and therefore kept it concise. Collins was capable of reading his audience and therefore was able to sustain the attention of the students from beginning to end. He acknowledged them at the beginning by stating, “I am going to speak for 13 minutes. I think you deserve to know that this will be a finite experience. It is well-known in the world of public speaking that there is no pleasure you can give an audience that compares to the pleasure they get when it is over so you can look forward to experiencing that pleasure 13 minutes from now” (Collins para. 1)

Billy Collins, an American poet and professor at Lehman College of the City College of New York gave a commencement speech in 2008 that demonstrated the importance of audience, genre and purpose

The purpose of a text can be defined as the goal the speaker wants to achieve.

Therefore, knowing the audience of a piece allows readers to realize the purpose of the text.

While writing this assignment it reminded me a lot of what I used to do in ap literature in high school however it was usually two pieces of work not three. What was new was having to try and adapt to a college level of writing as opposed to superficial forms of writing that were acceptable in high school. Also, trying to structure this paper in a clear and concise way. Having written a lot of drafts and essays and short papers in high school it gave me an idea of how to write this, and I was able to read these pieces and understand the purposes of each and who the author was attempting to speak too. I proof read my paper and had checked to see what sentences needed correcting and where I could insert a better vocabulary word in.
