Journal & Field Log 9  - Based on articles by Kent Ryden and Juan Guerra.

These two diverse essays of Juan Guerra and Kent Ryden depict the cultural or physical maps which are guides that help explain the environment around us. Our understanding of these genre maps depends on our ability to interpret their message. There are rhetorical, cultural landscapes all around us, some are visible at the surface and others require a deeper vision to see them and be able to spread their message. Writing about these different genre landscapes depicts how rhetorical and linguistic messages cross disciplines and cultures.
