Audience & Purpose

It is important to know how to identify the specific audience you, the writer, desires to reach. Like now, I am writing to myself (known audience) my professor (known audience) and to possibly other people who may come across this blog and read it, (unknown audience). So, if I want to relay my objective, or my point to the possible readers I must acclaim a general understanding of what the readers may read from their perspective.
When I want to tell my dad about my team practice, the other day, he would know what I would be talking about. My dad would know much more information then an (unknown)audience would even if I only told him: " At practice we ran longer than usual and afterwards I went to the store to get a drink"
To a general audience I would need to be more specific if I wanted to fully express what I want the reader to know. I would say something like this:
"At my college soccer team practice yesterday, the team of about twenty ran for two miles longer than our regular five mile run. Since I was so thirsty, I went to Starbucks and got a cappucino."
In essence, it is important to understand your own personal objective, or purpose to writing to someone and know the specific audience about to read it.
