Open Vs Genesis

      Genesis and open both have significant language and tone that differ and appeal to their group of readers in different ways. Genesis is unique in the sense that it is written with parallel language throughout the entire passage. Every single paragraph starts with "and god said" and then is followed by a quote from god all starting with the word "let." The repetition of this phrase helps affir, gods authority and power over the world. It shows that god is the creator of this world and has had the final say in everything. The first quote, "let there be light, and ther was light" proves gods power completely. It illustrates the fact that whatever god says to, as he says there will be light, then there is light. Genesis is geared towards appealing a religious audience or people thAt seek knowledge on how the world was created in a religious sense.

       Open is much different than genesis as the language is much more casual and therefore heard towards appealing to a much different audience. Open is a autobiography so it is written from a very personal. Andre Agassi speaks to the audience with a very personal tone in order to really reveal his true emotions about his career and tennis. Agassi writes in very choppy sentences, which helps create that personal and casual feel, as if he were In an actual conversation with person. This writing technique helps the book appeal to a much different audience than that of genesis; open's audience is a younger one as well as many tennis players and athletes who are interested into diving into themind of one of the greatest players of all time.
