The Context of the article is sponsors of literacy. The journal it appeared in is Debora Brant’s article about the “Sponsors of Literacy”. The Journal’s Intended audience is the students of Montana State University that bought the book and were reading her article. The author is Debora Brant. Brant is an English professor at the university of Wisconsin- Madison, she has also written many books and a few scholarly research articles about literacy and what literacy is about. The article was written in 1998. The situation it was written in describes the tension between people and their literary sponsors.
The conversation of the article is the combination of literacies that make people unique.
She says that “The field of writing studies has had much to say about individual literacy development”. This means that everyone will have a different writing style and no two pieces of literature will be alike.
The writer is talking about everyone having a different way about going to write a paper, she says everything will have some differences and the readers must understand that it is these differences that make literacy very interesting.
Brant’s motivation is to have us as young writers look back and see who our first “teachers” of writing were. It teaches us to explore our past and shape our future as literary students and maybe someday literary experts.
I will show readers evidence for my reading by carefully dissecting Brant’s work in this article. I will show how she goes about telling students about the differences in writing and our past sponsors impact on how we write today as a person. Everyone will have their own interpretations of pieces of literacy, but this will only be my interpretation and I will try and convince my class mates that I have looked into the article enough to find out what she exactly means when writing about “Sponsors of Literacy”.
