1. The ideal reader for my first topic will be any new or returning student who is uneducated or has proconceived notions about fraternity life on a college campus. They would bring a naive mind and the questions that would be pertinant to writing an essay on this topic.
2.The ideal reader for my second topic will be anyone that is currently attending a boarding high school. I could see about sending this essay back to my high school so that students would be better informed before coming to college. Kind of like a user’s guide to college. They would be looking at college as a totally new experience when there are many similarities. They may also feel that they have college totally figured out when there are also many differences.
3. The third topic will benefit anyone who is attending college or will be attending college. This would allow current and prospective students to communicate with one another and alleviate problems that they are currently having or will have in the future.
4 & 5. My fourth/fifth topic will benefit me the most as a reader/writer. I will make this reading available to those who currently have careers that I aspire to attain. By letting them see the questions and thoughts that I have, I will be able to have them answer these questions so that I can get ahead on my career search.

I think your first idea for a literacy narrative is really interesting. Showing what fraternaity life is really like would be a great topic and could end up being very informative.
