Convergences

Message, method, and medium are words commonly used in the english language. Many people only know the simple definitions but Convergences has taught me a different definition for these words. It has taught me that message has three different meanings, one is as a descrete form of communication, two is a moral or story, and three is as an unmistakable point. I never knew really what method was to be honest. I now know that it is how the text says something. An example would be some says "hello" and another says "wassup". They both mean the same thing but are different to each person. As for medium I always had an idea but nothing really concrete. Medium in terms of English is the plural form of media. Media comes in a million different forms; television, newpaper, and the internet are just a few. Medium also has 2, kind of hidden, meanings. One of which is the physical material an artist uses such as what they use to portray their image. Marble, canvas, and paper are just a few that come to mind. Something else that is important to a piece of work is who the story is written to and how it is written to them. When something is written to a certain group of people it is important to write in a style that would appeal to them. If the peice of work is intended for a television show you would probably not write it in first person. Also you would need to consider the goal or purpose of the piece of work. Generally when something is written, it is written to serve a purpose such as impacting someones life or simply just getting the message out there.
