Purpose and Audience

Purpose
My purpose in writing this essay is to present my argument as to why English should be the official language of the U.S. to the reader. I want to explain why declaring English as the official language will allow everything to run more efficiently, make communication much easier, and explain the fact that this country was founded by English speakers and all of our historical documents are written in English. I also would like to propose a possible way to declare English as the official language and to teach the language to non-English speakers.

Audience
My audience could be politicians that are interested in this issue. My audience could also be just about anyone, with the fact that the vast majority of people have experienced another language being spoken, or had trouble understanding someone because they spoke another language, this essay could prove interesting to anyone.
