Comparison with blog and a scholarly article for finance major (Week 3)(1)

Q: Considering Delivery and Style: Find a blog, trade journal or newspaper article, and a scholarly article written by a professional in your field. Compose a post in which you compare the delivery and style of these (at least two) different types of sources (both must be related to your field) in order to draw conclusions about their audience and purpose. Who are these authors writing for? Why? And what difference does that make to how they write?


The trade journal was about China should pump Iraq's oil. The journal mainly use lots of data, to show that we should let China pump oil from Iraq. Obviously these data are all about Finance. Like the percentage of cost for China to pump in Iraq.  Secondly, the journal lists many Finance problems and questions for reader. these two styles usually using by journal. The data called LOGOS, it can help readers know more abut information then make a decision.  Besides, by asking some questions, for example "So if the Chinese want to settle for lower margins in Iraq -- and help keep a lid on gas prices in the process -- what's the problem?". To make audience thinking deeper. We can see that the question asks gas prices. That is the finance major question.


On the contrary, I find another scholarly article which is about finance manager. The article is mainly introduce the finance manager. Includes salary, job details etc. The delivery of this article is very professional. This is the majority of this kind of article. It is also using LOGO rthtorical strategies. By providing many information for audience to talk about finance manager. Furthermore. The article highly conclude the duties what should a finance manager does.

In conclusion, no matter articles or journals in finance major. They are both very officially. The audience for journal is the readers all over the world. And the audience for article is for business people who want to be a finance manager. So the article are very specific.
