1) Write a bit about how these essays differ from the writing you are used to writing/reading. How do they use a different structure, tone, techniques, etc?
They are a bit darker in mood, they use more examples and dialogue to pursue their main ideas. They appeal more to the pathos of the reader, and not their logos. Their Ethos is mainly that they are human beings. At least two of the reading had multiple points in their ending. (better life, girlfriend is bad, no more gaming... stuff like that.)
2) Take one of the essays and write a few sentences about the purpose and audience for the essay. What are they and how do you know?
The gaming addiction essay's purpose is to tell the story of a Gaming addiction and how bad it can be for a person. The audience for that is people who are also addicted to gaming, to tell them that there is a way out and that they shouldn't just sink deeper into their games. Another purpose could also be to educate the people who can influence gamers to stop gaming. In other words, educate parents about letting their children become gamers, and teaching people not to let the boyfriends/girlfriends be on their computers too much.
