The purpose of this piece was to research about the sneaker culture around the United States and even overseas. My intended audience for this paper was any professional personnel researching about sneakers. Some questions I asked myself as I wrote this research paper were “Is this good information for the people?”, “Is this too much information for the people?”, and “Why does my professor have me doing this?”. From this piece I learned more about how sneakers have impacted the nation and how long it has been a significant style. My strength in this piece was providing the reader with enough information to learn more about the sneaker culture. My weakness in this piece was trying to find good topics to discuss while writing. This assignment also bettered my understanding of the term voice in writing. By not telling but helping the reader understand what I was trying to inform them about my topic.
