When an author begins to construct a novel, there are a plethora of diverse factors that he must take into account. Not only does an author care about the superficial story (the plots, characters, actions, and dialogue), but they also care about the approach they take when writing their story. Approach refers to how the author's audience reads the words the author deliberately chooses to write. Often, any given approach an author decides to use is a way for themselves to take a stance on a specific issue happening in the world around them. Writers use their literary works to expose their own personal beliefs. A popular approach taken by writers is the genre approach.
