Dear Robert,

I chose to write my genre analysis paper on formal lab reports because

Ive had to write many of them in the past and there are many more to be
written in the future based on my major being mechanical engineering.
Since I have had to write many, I know what makes a lab report; therefore, it
was not very hard to write about. Prior to writing the paper, looking at the
various genres to write about made me realize that there are many, many
different genres that I did not realize were. I would have never guessed that
a lab report was a genre or a resume for that matter. One issue that I have
with my paper is the length. I feel that it is too short, but lab reports are what
they are and do not vary too much.
Sincerely,
Chase Stodden
