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 that my rhetorical reading skills are good enough for a foreign student and this is my freshman year in the u.s. but i think that i need to improve them as soon as possible because i want to live here in the u.s. and i want to speak and write perfect this language and i want to improve them it is very neccesary to me because it is about my future.





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 differences between writer-based prose and reader-based prose are a lot because when you write you can fix your mistakes and nobody will know it because you can fix them before you publish your article, but when you are reading you cant fix your mistakes and you need to do other things because everybody will know that you maked a mistake. My plans to improve my rhetorical strategies in writing is to practice a lot. i need to practice a lot to improve them that is the only way to do it, i cant improve my writing skills by reading, i need to write a lot.

Reflection on audience awarness



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 think that if you are in front of an audience that you know like your family you will feel more comfortable and you will not matter if you say something wrong as if you are with someone else that you don’t know and it is when because you have to do the issue when you are in front of an audience.



2.    In general, what have you learned from Linda Flower’s and Peter Elbow’s article as a writer and as a reader?
I have learned that it is better to speak in front of people that you know because that will be less embarasing, but I learned too that it is better if you write something and you publish it because you will not know who know about it and if you do a mistake you can correct it before you publish it and if you are speaking you can correct it at all.
