The purpose of this essay, or what i'm wishing to convey to my audience is that this past Christmas was not only the worst holiday i've ever experienced, but one of the worst days of my life. I was motivated to write this piece to release all my anger about the subject because I haven't really delt with it at all since it happened. I hope that the reader can come away with an understanding of why this day was horrible for me, and understands all the emotions I was feeling. To achieve this I will have to give some background about my father, his parents, and my sister and my relationship with them. I also need to emphasize how much Christmas is my favorite holiday, is perfect in my eyes, and spending the entirety of Christmas morning last year crying was a crushing blow to my perception of Christmas always being perfect.
I feel that my audience would be anyone who can relate to being in a family which isn't quite normal, or one that is big and blended. Anyone who is a child of divorce or has a poor relationship with one of their parents can also relate to my essay. Because people who will be reading my essay will be able to hopefully relate to how i'm feeling, it will be easier on my part to convey my emotions.
I think that the people who read my essay will not be surprised as to what i'm writing about. They will most likely have the assumption that my essay will have something to do with having a bad holiday experience, but not until they read more into the essay will they realize that it has more to do with a bad experience with my family.
In my essay I will have to tell the story of last Christmas, from morning until evening, because without telling of the day in its entirety I will not get my full point across to the reader. I also will have to include flashbacks of some kind to show my audience how my father behaved towards me and my sister, because without the understanding of my father's relationship with myself, my essay won't have a clear focus and will be hard to understand.

what I got as the intent of your desgin plan was for you to release anger and deal with the problems you faced on that day, to change the idealized perception of christmas, and address family issues.
Since you have to give alot of backroung information do you plan on writing a segmented essay?
I like the concept of your essay, I can't wait to read about what actually happened. You have me intrigued just by reading your design plan.
You know, shitty holidays are horrible to go through, but great reading material.
So is the background going to be presented much like that other woman's piece with flashbacks to the past during the present? Or of course, something completely different?
Either way, I'm sure this is going to be a great essay and hope to read it soon.
