1.) What were your concerns about in the SQR? What would you like the group to consider, respond to, or evaluate on an SQR of yours?
One of my concerns is on the citation; the citation normally goes at the end of the whole paper. In this case you told us to place it at the beginning of the SQR. I would really love for my peers to respond with a more detailed response. For it to show as if they really did read my SQR.
2.) How did you see/ evaluate the comments you made on your peers’ papers? Honestly, do you think they were really helpful? (its of 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).
I tried to explain as detailed as possible when commenting on my peers papers. I even fixed the miss spelled words, the grammar, and punctuation through the whole paper. I strongly believe that my comments and editing advice were a big help to the writer.

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?
Audience awarness is when we do not see the writing process behind the writing. We just see the writing and it is either tangled or empty. That is not a good thing because we must be aware of what the writing is trying to say.
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 from these articles that I should use rhetorical strategies and be a reader based prose I when speaking infront of an audience do find myself closing my eyes at times but it helps me. I do not want to be a writer based prose because you do not pay attention to what others think but of themselves.

"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?
Answer: I do use this method sometimes not always but when i dont have a clear idea of what we are reading i tend to go back and re-read it so i can have a better understanding. Sometimes when i have to summarize a text or article, i have to put in it my own words to understand it, if not just at least have an idea of what it is talking about.
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.
Answer: When using rhetorical strategies 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 I am reading. Writer-Based prose fails to do some Rhetorical strategies because it doesnt focus on the audiences thoughts but on their own thought but Reader-Based prose does not.
