In thinking about genre outside academia, and more in the film or book world.For example, if a romantic comedy doesn't end with the happily ever after. If something doesn't fit into a specific genre is that disappointing? Confusing? Surprising? Does it belong in another genre altogether?

2. Amy DeWitt
DeWitt states that "writers work creatively within the frame of past texts and given genres just as they work within the frame of given language." I can't help but think of Cormac McCarthy and his non-use of punctuation. Is this something that you would consider for a class?
