journal 8

Depending on who my audience is, my writing style will vary. For the most part, I try to keep my compositions as formal as possible, but it can deviate from this formality. For example if I am writing to a friend or peer, I try to make myself sound as sophisticated as possible without overdoing it. I want my audience to know that I am knowledgable but at the same time I don't want those same people to think that I'm a douche. When I am writing a composition for school or a resume, I try to be as formal as possible. I try to be so formal that it's just short of overdoing it. In this situation, I attempt to be as extensive as possible with my vocabulary because I know I won't be judged and it will look better.
