A particular aspect of writing may be perceived as a construct simply due to the fact that the means by which the topic of the writing is defined in itself as a construct, making it apt to being contested, redefined or reinvented. For example, politics; the idea of politics change everyday, making it a construct when writing and rhetoric are concerned. But what exactly makes ideas like politics change everyday? The answer is rather simple. When people write articles, compositions or whatever, they are feeding off of their own personal foundations of knowledge. They use their environment and the world around them, what they have learned from their environment, and their personal experience within their environments to build their own responses to certain ideas. As the world changes, people change and as people change, so do their morals and perspectives.
The study of perspective as a writing construct is important because the more one knows about how to approach, assess and efficiently contribute to rhetoric, the better they can interact in rhetorical situations. This very much supports the theme that Tierney and Pearson had claiming that "readers don't 'find' meaning in texts, but instead texts guide readers in how to build meaning using what they already know and new information that the text provides" (p.174).
Construct is something that varies from person to person. Different people have different definitions of what a writing construct is. These different or varied ways of writing construct come from many things. One way can be how a person was taught to construct their writing. This could cause them to be more comfortable with one type of writing construct rather then how a new professor or a new boss would like it. Another way is from past experiences. For example, someone may have had trouble with one way of constructing their writing but then found a different way from other experiences with writing. The same situation goes for error. It is different based on the student. This causes different students to have different approaches to how they construct their writings. Different age groups construct their writings in different ways also. How a person was taught to write will greatly affect their ways of writing construct.
In elementary school all the teachers are worried about teaching you about writing is writing in complete sentences. In middle school the teachers start teaching you how to plan out your writing, so they teach you how to make outlines and how to make a rough draft based on your outline. These teachers aren’t really concerned with errors at this point. Then they want you to construct a final piece where they then take your errors into account. In high school, the teachers expect you to have your own construct on writing, but when you write a paper for them they want you to write it the way they want it. Gramatically correct pieces with no errors. You aren’t really using your own construct, you are just basing your paper on what you think is the teachers writing construct.
Perspective is just one way that writing can be constructed. Writing constructs are something that are asked about by a lot of writers. Writing construct is important beacuse it helps to show the ways in which different people write and it shows why there are different types and veiws of writing. Construct is also important beacuse it is the starting point of the work. If the construct is wrong or not well organized then the writing will most likely be unorganized and not very interesting.
