The connections between the two points ov views of audiance awareness of course differentiates at certain times of writing. Linda Flower and Peter Elbow both agree that audiance awareness is important but what Elbow is expressing is that there is certain times and points of writing when it is alright to ignore audiance awareness. The times of writing when it is alright to ignore audiance awareness is when there is a personal life experience that is being talked about.
What I have learned from Linda Flower's article is that you have to be aware of the audiance because most of the time there is going to be readers reading your paper and making their interpretation on it. It is not okay to be self-centered and write just for yourself because then the work will not sound right most of the time. I have learned from Elbow's article is that there is times when it is alright ignore the audiance maybe when talking about a certain life experience or a personal opiniated question. Believe it or not, Reading Rhetorically is important reading both of these articles because it has taught me how to point out the differences of both author's intention of their articles.

Rhetorical Awareness J.J. Zapata
Personally, my rhetorical reading consists of reading selections deeply in subject in order to get a good understanding from the reading. I try my best in reading constructively so i can build up good interpretations in what the author's intention of their work is. Reading Rhetorically for me means that I have to make sure I can find out the author's message of what they wrote in order for me to get a clear judgement from what ever it is that I am reading. However, I am aware that my Rhetorical skills are not the best, so i plan on improving them by making better hypothesis on my interpretations and sophisticationg the difficult texts that I come across.
The Rhetorical Strategies that I use in order to differentiate Writer-based and Reader-based prose are methods like Rhetorical Reading. Rhetorical Reading has helped me to receive a clear understanding in whatever text that I read so that means that I can easily interpret differences between meanings of words. This has benifited me by understanding that Writer-Based prose is a more self-centered type of writing to him/herself. Usually this writing is used by young students who have not yet learned how to write while being aware that someone is going to read and interpret their paper. That writing strategy however is known to be Reader-Based prose. Reading Rhetorically has helped me understand meanings of these two ways of writing. The Rhetorical skills that I can work on as a writer is being more concerned about the readers before i begin my work.
