In last night's reading I found it very interesting that style and word choice effect arguments that we make. I am a person who deals with a lot of things through e-mail because I am always go the go or always on the golf course where I can not talk on the phone. I have an iPhone so I can just pull it out and type an e-mail when necessary. I really like the idea that style and word choice has a lot to do with the state of arguments. To me, I like this because I spent a pretty large amount of time typing e-mails and text messages because I have to with what I do. I am a college student and I have to sometimes communicate my ideas and concerns with professors through e-mail at times. I think that this chapter will be very useful to our project because it tells students how to make arguments effectively.
I believe that this information will be beneficial because I now understand how to make arguments in different ways. Say I wanted to appeal ethically to my reader; I could write in a different manner than if I wanted to create excitement. I believe that having read this information I can see how it is definitely going to help. One other aspect of the chapter's reading that I believe will help me is the portion about how arguments are not just words. I already understood this but I believe that this section will help me and my group to make an effective argument with a political cartoon or something of that nature. I think that this chapter will help our group and I will most likely be referring to this reading for guidance throughout this project.
