<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">"A Multigenre paper arises from research, experience, and imagination. It is not an uninterrupted, expository monologue nor a seamless narrative nor a collection of poems. A multigenre paper is composed of many genres and subgenres, each piece self-contained, making a point of its own, yet connected by theme or topic and sometimes by language, images, and content. In addition to many genres, a multigenre paper may also contain many voices, not just the author's. The trick is to make the paper hang together." ~Tom Romano, </span><i style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Blending Genre, Altering Style</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> (2000, pp.x-xi.) </span></div>
