Reflection on Audience Awareness

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?

Well Flower in her article tells the reader that they should always be aware of the audience because that would help them develop a better paper. By having the
audience in mind everything would just flow smoothly and make it clear to them. But Elbow in his article shows that his believes are different from Flower's. This is because he tell the reader that at times one need to be able to forget about their audience in order to have a better paper. He says this because sometimes when we think too much about the audience that we get distrated in trying to write what the audience wants to be reading rather than what we want to get across. The reason in which they connect is because they both talk about audience awareness but they have differnt points of view.

2. In general, what have you learned from Linda Flower’s and Peter Elbow’s article as a writer and as a reader?

What I have learn from these two author is that we should use audience awareness toa make our writing better. But that there is also times and we need to block the audience so we won't get distracted about with them. As a reader i learned that i need to be more open-minded when reader some else paper.

Rhetorical Awareness

Q1. You are probably aware of the importance of Rhetorical reading thus far. I would like to know how you would evaluate your use of rhetorical reading strategies and whether you will have any plans to improve your rhetorical skills and what are the plans?

I think after reading the article in which it said what rhetorical reading is and how it can improve our understanding when reading, i tried my best so i can use the strageties that were given. I do this because i want ot be able to understand everthing that i read so i wont be confused.At the moment I dont have any plan of how to improve my rhetorical skills but I do want to improve them because i do enjoy reading.But what i can starting doing in just following the strategies given in the article and do want they say to improve my skills.

Q2. You are also expected to have a good understanding about Writer-Based Prose and Reader-Based Prose and the difference between them lies in the use of Rhetorical Strategies. I would like to know how you would differentiate the use of rhetorical strategies in writing (from reading as above) and what will be your plans to improve your rhetorical strategies in writing.

I think i do have a good understanding of Writer-BAsed prose and Reader-Based prose which will help me when i do wirting. Yes I think the difference between them is rhetorical stategies becuase once you have these strtegies we can use them a make out writing more understandable to our reader. I can tell the difference between Writer-Based prose and Reader-Based prose when they use rhetorical strategies because the audince can understand it more easly with reader base prose.To imrprove this skills i just have to follow what the sstrategies tell me to do.

Journal 1

1. What were your concerns about in an SQR? What would you like the group to
consider, respond to, or evaluate on an SQR of yours?

One of my concerns in the SQR is that I think that I am doing them well but at the end it will turn out that I am not. I also don't want them to affect my final grade that whyI try doing my best on them. I want every group that gets my paper to tell me what I have dont wrong in my paper because I want to be able to correct them so i can obtain a better grade. Even if they think that they are going to be hurt my feeling by correcting me; they still need to do it. By the groups doing this they will help me get the grade that I want for this calss at the end of the semester which is an A.

2. How did you see/evaluate the comments you made on your peers’ papers?
Honestly, do you think they were really helpful? (It’s ok that you can say no. If
that’s the case, please state what made you unable to provide specific
comments as you wished. It’s important for me to know how carefully you read
your peers’ papers and how did you work on commenting your friends’ papers).

I think my group did a good job in telling the person what they did wrong in the paper because we wanted that person to see what they have done wrong so the can be able to correct them. What we tried doing is to tell them the section that we did not inderstand or where there was something wrong so they could know exactly what they needed to correct.But we have also gotten paper that don't make a lot of sense so it is a bit hard to tell them the specific things that they wrong when it is the whole paper.What we do in this case it tell the writer to read the paper out loud to themsleves so they can realize that their writing does make much sense,
