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?


I don’t think audience awareness is important when you’re expressing your opinions, but in your conclusion it is important to make the audience understand, but even if they don’t understand they can use rhetorical reading to try to figure it out.


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

They are trying to teach us the way you should write and read or tell us the way we should be reading and writing now that we are in college. i have learned that we were thought wrong in high school and now most of us are a problem for our professors, and we all have to change our ways to be a success as writers.

Rhetorical Awareness

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

I know it is important, but is vary difficult to use rhetorical reading on articles or books that I personally have no interest in, and fined extremely boring. I don’t know what to do improve my rhetorical skills, so I don’t have a plan, but if you have any suggestions please leave your comments.



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.

Using rhetorical writing strategies differs from rhetorical reading in the way that your writing for someone else to read it and you have to write it in the way that most people understand and reading rhetorically your trying to find a deeper meaning of someone’s else’s writing. It is possible for me to improve my rhetorical writing skills, but will I take the time to improve it I don’t know.

sqr thoughts

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?

I don't have a concern is more like a complaint, why do the articles have to be so long, and boring!I would like the group to consider checking if the words i use are being used correctly.I would like for the group to tell me how my response makes them feel, and if they agree with my response or not.




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).


My comments aren't good at all. I honestly believe that the comments i have received aren't helpful at all, i my my friends read, and tell me what is wrong with my writings. One of my friends said "oh my god if you turn this in to your English teacher she will have a heart attack." All the papers i checked where good papers, but i don't know what to tell them to make a great papers because i myself don't write great papers.
