Genre in this context is the connection for exigencies of everyday situations. It used to expose exigencies to a myriad of audiences. When creating exigencies, the type of genre that is used is a vital component when it comes to the effectiveness of that exigency on its audience. If someone were to write a personal love letter, it wouldn’t be appropriate to post it on social media sites because then the personal affect would not exist. The exigency would not be considered as important because the context, or genre, it was written in was not appropriate for what the rhetor wanted to accomplish. The rhetor, audience, and exigency all connect in the rhetorical situation.  It forms a triangle of important concepts to generate a rise and concern for a problem with final hope to tackle the problem. Rhetorical situations and genre are essential to everyday writing because there is always a purpose to everyday writing, whether it is as serious as a love note or as miniscule as a to-do-list. Rhetoric and genre are key parts that make our everyday writing matter and essential to everyday.
