In his writing process, he addressed different audiences from essay one to essay three. I had the mandate of addressing an academic audience in the controversy essay and the general audience on the public argument essay. As such, in addressing the different audience distinct writing techniques had to apply. In the academic audience, I dedicated my time and works to informing audience on the different controversies that exist I relation to reference topic. For example, I shared the arguments and counterarguments on increasing fuel prices with an aim of reducing global warming.
This I did with an open mind, gave facts, and assumed a neutral position. In addressing, the public on the public argument essay, I changed the vision of my audience by using a convincing tone to make them support my views.

This strategy was significant in drawing attention, personalizing the information, and establishing conviction to my claim. More so, it helped me to address the new audience with more certainty. At the same time, I used diction to address the different audiences and defining the purposes of the two essays. Notably, in the controversy essay, I chose a neutral diction and used a more academic language in informing my audience on the arguments surrounding the increasing of fuel prices for the purposes of controlling global warming.
This was quite relevant in removing bias and deriving logic in my writing. However, in addressing the public, I had to change the diction to suit the purpose and audience of my writing. I adopted a less academic language and used examples that are more practical. For example, that of reducing traffic jams by increasing fuel prices. This aims
