Sommer's approach vs Pratt's approach

“Between the Drafts” by Nancy Summers writing is useful to the audience in various ways. The author is tells the audience that it is important as a writer to open new perspectives when it comes to revision. It is important for a writer to have authority and control of his/her ideas. She mentions that many drafts doesn’t necessarily mean that a paper improves. She argues, that it is the point of view, and how we revise that makes a paper a success. It is not about making it better, it is about getting your point of view across the best way as possible.
“Arts of the Contact Zone” by Mary Louise Pratt writing is not very useful on improving a writing process. The author focuses more on how “we” as an audience have different types of cultures depending on various factors. She argues that we would not judge a culture no matter what, we should welcome the culture an what it has to offer and learn from what it has to offer or teach.
