tardy bibliography paper flounder post

In our readings, two concepts I found elucidatory were Ong’s “projected audience,” and Breuch’s “assumptions of writing”—particularly the “writing is situated” discussion. As for my Bibliography paper, I hope to incorporate both these concepts in some way. The difficulty I anticipate is being able to apply these concepts in way that gives practical writing-center applications. As the assignment is to give a survey-like discussion on some common problems that face writing centers, I would think that this would involve identifying the manifestation of the problem, and then hypothesizing about different possible causes of the problem. An objective perceptive would be important. As Ong and Breauch’s essays are about the contexts in which writing takes place, they would help necessary for grounding this perspective. However, the fact that a person writes to a projected audience and that writing is heavily influenced by its social context, are very general, abstract observations and might not be at all helpful in discussing a specific problem with writing centers.
