The Meaning of Audience by Park.

The term audience, however vague and circumstantial it may be, lends itself to the decision making process by which Rhetoric scholars decide who and what they are actually writing about to begin with. In this example, Douglas Park is talking about the argument between what the writer is actually writing about, in the Context of this paper, there is a certain theoretical aspect to be covered within the piece, which states that there the only decision being made by Rhetoric Scholars is that one must either Evoke Emotion from the audience, or simply provide them with words to read.

Park is spot on with his examples and definition of what makes an audience an audience, and the boundaries by which one defines these parameters, and more importantly the conflict which writers face at this current day and age, which is to overcome the simulacrum industry of the arts.
