Grant Davie’s defines purpose and research some what different than mine. It could be because those two words can be used differently in different situations, which could mean different things. For Ex; for me, purpose is same as motive. Like, my purpose to have a college degree is to have better job and better living in the future.
Research is when you gather up information about specific topic or thing through different platforms such as; online searches, newspaper, articles, etc to gain your knowledge. Research can be used for many different purposes. One could be to gain an extra knowledge. Or it could also be used to do some experiments.
Grant Davie’s definition to purpose has a lot to do with the context of how the narrator of the story create rhetorical discussions, understanding how the difference within the discussion helps in responding through the text.
When it’s about general research it’s easier because half of things about your research is something that audience will have basic knowledge of, but the primary research is harder because it requires much more extra knowledge and research. Primary research also requires facts and evidence for it to support your ideas.
Other thing that primary research challenges you with is that, primary research comes with limitations because the research requires to be scholarly, but the general research doesn’t require fact check or approvals of some others.
