 The genre that I decided to write about is a football playbook. These are very common in my life, and I have been around them for many years. A playbook is written in a language that is only understood if you put in work and effort to understand it. Most people think that they are only just X's and O's but a playbook in this day and age is compiled of both diagrams and descriptions of each formation or specific play. On average 4 pages are used to describe each play. I compare football to a separate class, like chemistry or calculus. The playbook is the text book and games are tests. You need to learn each chapter, or play, completely or else you won't do well on the test, game. There will also be many pictures of the team on and in the playbook in order to create a sense of team pride. Playbooks are also very universal in their layout and purpose. Each one must explain the plays in order to run the perfectly, however each team will not own the same playbook, so each team must use their own playbooks.
