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? They both think that you should be aware of the audience in order to write something that they would be able to understand, but they think that when you think so much about the audience you sometimes start adding too much thoughts that your writing loses its clearness towards the readers.

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 in order to be a good writer, I need to use some of the readers strategies, and also mix it up with some writer strategies. For example, when i write, I look at who will read my text, and I take in consideration the type of language I should use, and the thoughts I should write down, this is using the reader base prose. Also when writing I get all the ideas that I have and put them in order so that they can make sense, this is using the writer base prose.
