Google Scholar Article Review 2/3/10

The author of the passage that I read speaks to his readers about the power of audience awareness and how it has the ability to shape the way people think. Roen tells us how conventional writing has strayed away from the path of audience awareness, and that if we were to shape our writing with the audience in mind, we would be able to write with substantial influence. He explains a three step process which includes what he is writing about, who the writing is for, and why the audience wants to hear about the topic. Using this formula, we may attain the ability to harness the attention of the audience and become more efficient at writing. The article was informative and helped to open my eyes to the power of writing with the audience in mind.
