Peter Elbow. ” Closing My Eyes as I Speak: An Argument for Ignoring Audience”. College English, Vol. 49, No. 1 (Jan., 1987), pp. 50-69
In the article “Closing My Eyes as I Speak: An Argument for Ignoring Audience”, written by Peter Elbow, he cover a quote “Very often people don't listen to you when you speak to them. It’s only that when you talk to yourself they prick their ears up”- John Ashbarry. If so, is the quote true, must we forget are audience to get our point across or is there a balance point where the speaker can connect to the audience and successful deliver his point of view. There are three types of audience and they are: inviting, enabling and powerfully inhibiting. An inviting audience will help the read communicate his idea clearly and give him there full attention, but an enabling audience might send the speaker some doubtful feelings towards his topic and might try to change his work on the spot, in doing so, change his point. The last type of audience is called inhibiting audience, yet, it goes back to inviting, although this time it has much more details. Inhibiting explains more to detail what the speaker is feeling when he gets a response from the audience. Therefore, the point is that the speaker depends on the audiences’ feedback.
Question:
The author says: “when attention to audience causes an overload, start out by ignoring them while you attend to your thinking; after you work out your thinking, turn your attention to audience” (p. 53). How could you know when it’s overloaded?
Response:
One knows when it is overloaded because it is the time that one gets too nervous. At this point one should not put too much attention to the audience and should start to relax. In other words, one should start to relax and think more on what they are trying to say rather than what the audience is thinking.

Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning
Summary:
Christina Haas and Linda Flower. “Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning”. College Composition and Communication, Vol. 39, No. 2 (May, 1988), pp. 197-183.
In the article “Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning”, written by Christina Haas and Linda Flower, one learns that no one is born an excellent written but one can become one. There’s been an argument brought up that reading is being portrayed as “constructive” and that “meaning “is in readers rather than in texts. Yet, reading is also being thought of as a discourse act. If this is true it means that college students should be taught differently how to read texts. If so, “what is good Reading?” how does the average student becomes one? Over the past years reading strategies have been developed in order to become a “good reader”, such as Rhetorical and Construction strategies, but how do they work? “Rhetorical strategies take a step beyond the text itself” meaning that there’s more to what is being said and written; in this case the reader must think about the information he just read. Students that are inexperienced cannot always read between the line and often miss the point of what is being said compared to the experienced read who can. So once again we learn that no one is born a good writer they become one.
Question:
Compare and Contrast Rhetorical Reading Strategies and Construction of Meaning?
Response
Rhetorical Reading Strategies take a more experienced read to recognize the doubled meaning in the text and to understand it fully. Whereas, Construction of Meaning is how one thinks of a texts when it is being read and how it is understood.

Summary:
While Anne, a teacher of writing from New York, is having a hard a hard time beginning a case study on herself, she learns it becomes very difficult to do this. She starts to wonder on other things rather than just her topic, and while this happens she realizes she cannot just keep on writing without any distractions. One learns in this research that there are many steps into composing a writing of any sort. Many of us have never paid attention to ourselves as we write; nonetheless, all the steps are still a part of each writing and we practice them every time. The retrospective process is unique in professional writers as it is in unskilled writers as well. As for professional writers, they sometimes know of this process but call it their “inspiration.” Yet, unskilled writers sometimes do not realize that as they go back after every sentence or group of sentences just to regain the thoughts, is in fact a much formulated procedure. Projective structuring is another process involved in composing a writing. This process involves the rules applied to one’s self as they write something. This makes a writer’s works feels incomplete even when finished writing.
Question:
The author describes recursiveness as “a forward-moving action that exists by virtue of a backward-moving action”. To what do writers move back? What is being repeated? Name some recursive elements.
Response:
Writers go back to their writers all the time; as they write a sentence or group of sentences one usually rereads it again to regain their thoughts. If the writer seems to be going off topic they try to go back to that topic or that idea.
