I would define audience as the intended reader of the text and knowledge as not what you already know, but things that you’re currently coming up with. Audience is important for writers because they need to be able to understand who they’re writing for. For example, an author wouldn’t write the same thing for elementary school kids as they would for college students. Knowledge is important in writing because it gives the text factual relevance and also creativity. Estrem defines knowledge as what you creating in your mind while writing and connects knowledge to writing by saying it gives any text originality. Lunsford describes that an audience is whatever the writer wants them to be by imagining them and giving them a role. These definitions help me understand Anzaldua’s by allowing me to better comprehend her message. Anzaldua’s text helped me better understand audience and knowledge in a way that both knowledge and audience can be altered due to language. After reading these three articles my definitions of audience and knowledge has slightly changed because I didn’t know how complex each thing could actually be.
