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?
Response: I agree with Peter Elbow, the audience is a field of force and the effect is somewhere between the two extremes, the awareness disturbs or disrupts our writing and thinking without completely blocking it out. In the other side Linda Flower has a procees named Writer-Based Prose that gives us confidence and motivation to continue writing and basically be eager to tackle any writig objective that is thrown at us. These two point of views are connected because both have an effect on people, Elbow's point of view has a negative effect and Flower's point of view has a positive effect.
2. In general, what have you learned from Linda Flower’s and Peter Elbow’s article as a writer and as a reader?
Response: That a lot of thing can affect our work as a writer or as a reader too, I have experience Elbow's point of view a lot because I get really shy when I'm speaking in front of an audience, and I believe that the audience is a field of force.

"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?
Response: Rhetorical strategies take a step beyond the text itself. What it means is that as a reader we have to think about what we are reading and make connections with our previous knowledge in order to get a better concept of what we are reading. I don't have any plans to improve my skills, I think the experience of the life would improve my skills because I would learn more and it would be easier for me to use those strategies.
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.
Response: Writer-Based prose is a description of this under transformed mode of verbal expression. In function, writer-based prose is a verbal expression writer by a writer to himself. On the other hand Reader-Based prose is a deliberate try to communicate something to a reader and creates a shared language context between writer and reader, and also offers the reader an issue-centered rhetorical structure rather of the writers discovery process and finally the Reader-based prose reflects the purpose of the writer`s thought. I think experience would help me to express myself in a better way and get better in my rhetorical strategies.

SQR's
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?
RESPONSE: This is my first time writing SQRs and I don’t have a concern about it because I understand the method of an SQR. I would like the group to fix my grammar because I have a lot of mistakes on it, and check my answer because sometimes I have difficulties to answer the question.
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).
RESPONSE: I don’t know if my comments are helpful for my friends but I do my best and I try to help them, and make them better with each SQR. Most of the time I try to fix the summary to make their summary better, and easy to understand.
