"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?
-Audience awareness is when you are in front of people lets say to give a speech. And everyone is watching you waiting for you to say something but you don't know if they are going to be inviting to what you are going to say or they are going to ignore you. That's why when you are revising your paper you go throw and re-read to see if you understand what you read. The difference of Elbow and Linda Flower is that Elbow gives more a more thoughtful explanation on what audience awareness is. Linda Flower gives a example of forgetting what the people are going to say and keep on reading.

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 learned of Linda Flower is that when I am in front of a audience and I am going to say something to gust forget the people be relaxed and gust say it without thinking to much on what you are going to say. What I learned from Peter Elbow is the effects that audience 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?
- Yes, I will like to know how to evaluate my rhetorical reading strategies and it will help me even more to know how to improve it. Because I will always want to improve my rhetorical reading strategies, because they are going to help me in an everyday life. So why not already improve it when I have the chance to do it.  

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 way they both differ is because in writing you gust think on haw to attract the reader to you writing and you can go back to it whenever you like to fix it. The way I am going to improve both Writing-Based Prose and Reading-Based Prose is by going to my teacher. And telling her/him how to help me improve them in a faster way.
