Genre Fun

Three things I need my friend to do to prepare for my party, written three different ways.                  

Please bring these things to help decorate:
• Flowers
• Mason Jars
• Ribbon
• White Christmas lights? (Don't worry if you can't find them)    


I also need waffles made from this recipe: (Please double so we have enough to feed everyone!)
Ingredients:
2 Cups of Bisquick mix
1 1/3 Cup of milk
2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 Egg
1/2 Banana (diced into small pieces)
Whisk together the milk, eggs and vegetable oil. Then slowly add in the Bisquick. Once batter is smooth, gently stir in the banana. Cook in waffle griddle for about two minutes, or until golden brown.
Makes: Four 8 inch waffles. Serve with Nutella and whipped cream.


And lastly, with all these things I need,
One is easily overwhelmed indeed.
But the most important thing of all,
You cannot buy even at the mall.
Not a single store could ever sell,
This great thing I am about to tell.
It is better than a sunny day,
And always chases the blues away.
It buys supplies and makes waffles too,
Yes, that's right; most of all I need you!



What did I learn from this exercise?
Writing is used in many different ways, all the time. Each different genre of writing has a particular purpose.
Writing poems, making them rhyme, and making all the lines have the same amount of syllables, just to say your friend is invited, is quite difficult. While writing has its pleasures, it also has its purposes. It's much more time-efficient to use the correct genre to get your point across. That's why I am using prose right now instead of writing this into a song. (Maybe next time...)
