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?

Flower stresses on how we should be award of the audience when we write, as much as we can, while Elbow expresses on when not to worry much on audience awareness and when too. Elbow thinks that there’s a time of when to acknowledge the audience and when not to. It helps out the writer when they don’t have much stress on what the readers are going to say and comment on. They get to express themselves as they like and later on when they feel like their paper is good, take the audience in mind. While Flower talks about having the audience in mind the whole time you’re writing.



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 learned in Linda Flower’s and Peter Elbow’s article is when to use those skills. Audience awareness, writer-based prose and reader-based prose, in this there’s a certain places or time I should say where it’ll help out the writer a lot in writing. The articles kind of contradicted each other but had great points and helped me understand that there’s a time of when to use this skills. As a reader i learned to be more honest when it comes to me writing comments. it helps out the writer out a lot. and try to give my comments in the best of my knowlege as a helpful way.
