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.
