The following quotation best sums up Kerry Dirk's main idea or overall "thesis" in "Navigating Genres": Question 1 options: "What is important to consider here is that if mastering a form were simply a matter of plugging in content, we would all be capable of successfully writing anything when we are given a formula." "Country songs are often political, responding to wars and economic crises, for example." "Genre used to refer primarily to form, which meant that writing in a particular genre was seen as simply a matter of filling in the blanks." "My purposes are to expand your definition of genre (or to introduce you to a definition for the first time) and to help you start thinking about how genres might apply to your own writing endeavors."
