What professional genres has each interviewee written in? Explain how these genres differ from each other, according to conventions, formatting, techniques, content, and anything else that seems relevant to describe.
Dr. Riggs has been published in Infection and Immunity as well as The Journal of Parasitology. Dr. Wright has been published in American Society for Microbiology and Vaccine. Both of their writing is in the same genre of a standard research paper. The all have an abstract, introduction, materials, results, and conclusion section. They all have the same conventions of being entirely fact based with graphs and charts used to present data.
What is the context surrounding the two different pieces published by each of your interviewees? (See the bulleted questions on Student's Guide page 180 for specific questions about context). Cite specific details from the pieces in your answers.
Dr. Riggs
The first article was published on May 22, 1987 in the Infection and Immunity journal which can be accessed online. It is intended for fellow researchers or people interested in his study however the level of language suggests it was made for people with a higher education.
The second article was published on February 7, 1989 in the Journal of Parasitology which can also be accessed online. Like the first article, it was most likely intended for people with a higher education who were interested in his research.
Dr. Wright
The firs article was published on March 13, 2004 in the American Society for Microbiology journal which can be accessed in print and online. It was intended for people interested in animals but also had a degree of education to understand the language he is talking in.
The second article was published on September 28, 2004 in the journal Vaccine which can also be accessed both in print and online. Like all the other ones, it was intended of people with a higher education background who are interested in the research he was doing.
What is the overall message of each piece? How did you decide this? Cite specific details from the pieces in your answers.
Dr. Riggs
The message of each piece can be found in the title. With the first being "Infectivity and neutralization of Cryptosporidium parvum sporozoites" and the second being "Hyperimmune moving colostrum neutralizes Cryptosporidium sporozoites and protects mice against oocyst challenge." They are just informing the audience on what they found during the research.
Dr. Wright
Just like for Dr. Riggs, the message of each piece can be found in the title. The first is "Molecular Diversity of Rumen Methanogens from Sheep in Western Australia" and the second is "Reducing methane emissions in sheep by immunization against rumen methanogens." Both talk about the effect things have on how many methanogens are present in a sheep's rumen.
What purpose is each piece trying to achieve? Cite specific details from the pieces in your answers.
Dr Riggs
The purpose of both of the pieces was to inform people on the research he did. I know this because he is merely stating the facts of what he found in his research.This is the purpose of every research paper and will most likely be the purpose of Dr. Wrights publication.
Dr. Wright
No shocker here, the purpose of Dr. Wright's research was to inform his audience on the research he did and what he found. It is a research paper and this tends to be the purpose of most research papers.
