The discourse community that I have chosen is about the Christian community, the word is “Faith in Jesus”. I have chosen this topic because my family and I are Christian, just like trillions of people before us, billions of people right now, and millions of people to be. We are more than blessed being so. I have been Christian my whole life but during these past years, I have grown very big in terms of my faith. I have seen how amazingly good God is and that he is very real. My audience is not the Christian community, I said the topic is about the Christian community but not my audience, because, what benefit would it have to feed the ones that are already satiated? however, they are not excluded because every day we learn something new. My audience is the people that are hungry, the people that have ears to hear yet don’t hear, that have eyes to see yet don’t see, my audience is the incredulous people (not judging anyone by the way). I would not try to convince anyone, I will only say the truth and my audience are going to be the judge whether they believe it or not.

Week 4: Intro to Discourse Communities (Deisi Naula)
The discourse community that I am writing about for unit one essay is the catholic church discourse community. I chose this discourse community in particular because I’m a part of it and I wanted to share my experience. This discourse community that I chose also follows the rules that John Swales proposed. I will be sharing what a typical day is like and the common goals we all have. Technically I’ve been apart of this community ever since I was born because I’m Catholic, however, I never felt connected as much to this discourse community up until three years ago. I’m thinking about analyzing the word “faith” for my essay because this word connects to my discourse community since it’s about having faith in the religion and it also excludes/includes some people. Ultimately, these essays about our discourse community that we’re a part of can help us understand each others perspectives and learn the communities that are available to participate/interact.
