Good Readers and Good Writers Blog #7

What authority does the author have as a writer? I think Vladimir's power is being an influential writer because he wants to help people better themselves in reading and writing. Vladimir can write an essay on how to be a good reader and writer because he really did his research. He took his time with the details and examples to show people how to better themselves and not many authors can do that very well. Vladimir had other people, such as college students, give their opinion on things like the qualities a good reader and writer should have, and it really put a different perspective into the essay and makes it better. I think the readers of the essay can really gain a lot from Vladimir's essay because he makes it reader friendly. They know how to create better stories as well as learning how to read stories and understand them better by his advice. Vladimir teaches people to go into their minds and really think about what they are reading or writing and either understand what the author is trying to get across to them or what they, as writers are trying to get across to their readers- he forces them to sort of think differently than how they did before and that really opens up a whole new learning experience.
