Summary:
This paper is telling us the different perspectives of Writer based prose and how when you transform it you create the Reader Based prose, they did different kind of study’s so you can see the relationship between this Reader and Writer prose.
In function Writer Based Prose is a verbal expression written by a writer to himself, is working on his verbal taught, because sometimes the reader doesn’t get what the writer put on the paper, and in structure is when you reflect the associative and narrative path of the writer own confrontation of his subject. The Writer Based Prose is a process when the writer put his own taught in structure and style adapted to the reader, everyone uses the strategies of Writer Based Prose, but good writers go a step further to transform the writing, this technique gives confidence and motivation to the inexperienced writers to go on.
Reader Based Prose is the task the groundwork laid in the first stage of the process, its an extension of our communication with ourselves transformed to the needs of the readers, most of the transformations that occur with this strategy are when you select a focus mutual interest to the reader and the writer, moving from facts, scenarios and details to concepts.
Question:
How would you identify a Writer-Based Prose and a Reader-Based Prose?
Response:
A Writer-Based Prose is when the writer make a verbal expression but its for him, it is address from him-self and for himself, and nobody else, like a journal or a dairy that only the writer would read it. It contains his personal thoughts, his personal experiences, also the deepest feelings from the writer, his language, the way he express. In its structure, Writer-Based prose reflects the associative, narrative path of the writer's own confrontation with her subject. In its language, it reveals her use of privately loaded terms and shifting but unexpressed contexts for her statements.
Reader-Based prose is a deliberate attempt to communicate something to a reader. To make that possible the writer tries to put a common language so the reader can understand his idea, or main point. It also offers the reader an issue-centered rhetorical structure rather than a replay of the writer's discovery process. In its language and structure, Reader-Based prose reflects the purpose of the writer's thought; Writer-Based prose tends to reflect its process.
