Linda Fower and Peter Elbow... Questions:)

1.       Linda Flower stresses the importance of audience awareness in composing while Elbow concludes that the question/issue with audience awareness is when. How would you explain the connections between these two points of view?

Linda Flower mainly stresses because she believe we should be very aware of the audience on behalf our writing, which she always has in mind the audience. While on the other hand Elbow briefly expresses the opposite which is that we should not worry much on audience awareness. He thinks that there is periods of time that we let the audience know when they should not. Which It helps the writer not take much into consideration to what the readers are going to comment on their writing. So, the writers should just express themselves out without stress on them nor pressure, but when they feel that their paper is or sound good, that is when they should take in mind the audience.  

2.       In general, what have you learned from Linda Flower’s and Peter Elbow’s article as a writer and as a reader?
 While reading the article of Linda Flowers and Peters Elbows, I can honestly say that I learned how and when to use audience awareness, writer-base prose and reader-based prose. When these skills come to the pictures there are certain way to use them.  I really think that this article has a good point but there was a little bit of confusion, but either way I understood. As I have been a reader I believe that writing is easy especially when readers read and revise which make the writer check their errors.

"Rhetorical Awareness"

Q1. I highly find Rhetorical reading as an important use for readers and writers. A strategy I plan to use all my life when reading and writing come to the picture. Rhetorical reading is an easy format to contribute it with my knowledge of reading. I know for a fact that it is going to help me increase my improvement concerning reading with fewer struggles in life. I look forward to increase my rhetorical skills for the fact of me barely learning the correct format in how to use it correctly. My goal with rhetorical reading is to become really good at it an teach it to the beginners because I can sincerely say that I would’ve liked to have tutors on my side.
Q2. I differentiate rhetorical strategies in writing with rhetorical reading in the format that when reading is being used me as the reader tries to get the readers point of view, but sometimes it is hard to understand what the writer is trying to say. As for when I am the writer it is easy for me because I know what my own point of view is, but in the other hand the readers can sometimes have conflicts with my writing. Either because he/she does not get my point of view or because they do not get a sentence, etc. Of my writing. My plans to improve my rhetorical strategies with writing is to try to put myself on the readers shoes so that I can make it clear to them what my point of view is really about, because me as a readers personally have problems trying to figure out a writers point.
