One of the major differences between the role of the writer and academic for Elbow is the different approaches they take on the text. The writer approaches his text with emotions and past experiences whereas the reader approaches the text looking for fact. The reader is much like the writers parent, seeing the direction of the text that the writer needs to take, but the writer refuses to follow what the reader wants. The difference makes an impact because it is hard to have a piece of text where two different approaches are being made.
