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 in writing most writers are aware of the audience to have the paper to make sense (for the audience.) Linda Flower explained how much important the audience is for the writer, and what to do to turn a writer base prose into a reader base prose. In the other hand Elbow emphasize on ignoring audience to have a good writing. Both ideas can be blended at some point. The elbow ideology is a good way to began a text, to express all the ideas and feelings, then after having all the thoughts and ideas written down the writer has to be aware of the audience and try to transform the text for the audience’s comprehension, there is WHEN the awareness works.  

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

In fact I have not learned anything at all. The most relevant knowledge earned is importance of the audience, yet I already know about that but I did not know how to name it.

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 do not really remember what I have written, by reading my papers I can easily note that I am trying to express what I have understood from the text, but I make too much effort to and readers may not get my point of view. I may have to turn my writing in to a more interesting, like questionable or something like that.

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.

The rhetorical structure of a text is developed when the reader has a good understanding of the text, and to have that understanding it is needed a good reader-base prose. In contrast, writer base prose is a self-explanation of the writer understanding. So for a good rhetorical strategy I must have a good reader base prose

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?

In my SQR I took care about the grammar content, the expression of my ideas, to give enough details, and try to post whatever the writer means. And the peer revision is very helpful at the time of my revision, I like to have all points of view evaluated by them. Once a friend told me that I wrote too much in a SQR and I haven’t see it until he told me, and I could do a better job.

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).

Actually, at the beginning my comments weren’t good, I tried to be nice. I comment things like “ good job” , “nice explanation” my comment weren’t really useful. Then after the 2^nd lecture I improve my comments and made myself more critical using constructive criticism.
