How to Read Letters, Diaries and Speeches
Subjects / English / Media and Non-Fiction Texts
When considering how to read letters, diaries and speeches we must remember that some writing which ends up in books is never intended for that purpose. Letters, entries in diaries or journals and some speeches are examples of this. Many people write letters to friends, or keep diaries just to record their own private thoughts and opinions. When it comes to speeches there is always an audience, but the speech is intended to be delivered rather than read and so can lose impact when published as part of a book. However, these types of text are particularly interesting, especially when we look at the less formal writings of people whose writing and speeches are usually far more polished, having been drafted and redrafted, by the time we get to see or hear them.
