When a writer composes a text, that writer takes time and thought to shape the text so the elements work in harmony. That is, th
e point of view, tone, and purpose all contribute to a unified message. But what about more informal writing and conversations? They usually aren’t carefully planned out like an essay. Think of some examples of informal writing or a conversation you can recall well. Describe how clearly they express a unified point of view, tone, and purpose. Compare them to at least one formal informational text. Discuss why you think the two modes of communicating are different or the same.
