Argumentative Analysis: 'They Say I Say'

Graff and Birkenstein believe to become an effective writer on would start off with what “They are saying”. After you state the they say you can introduce your viewpoint/ argument so it can give the reader an idea of what you’re writing about. I like the idea of using the “they say” technique. Especially when writing an argumentative essay this strategy gives your essay more credibility. It gives the reader of sense that you can acknowledge a point of view even it opposes your own. Graff and Birkenstein also suggest to summarize the they say. Summarizing helps you understand the information better without

In arguing that anti-Confederate southerners played a central role in Confederate defeat, Freehling shifts historical debate to ground that is at once familiar and novel. Historians such as Drew Gilpin Faust and Paul Escott have identified internal disaffection as the primary cause of Confederate defeat while Gary Gallagher has suggested that whites in the Confederacy maintained their support for the government even as military losses ended the war.[1] The South vs. the South expands the scope of inquiry, looking beyond internal fissures within the Confederacy to the divisions in broader southern society. In Freehling's telling, anti-Confederate whites undermined the Confederacy by remaining outside the nation while slaves sapped Confederate

First, to start out talking about some of the styles and types of writing I have learned about, many of these things may be very common to some but, were new to me. The things we have gone over, to name a few are types and subtypes of arguments and how to present and argument. In these sections I have learned that there are different claim types of the arguments and that the need to understand who is addressing who in these arguments, in any given paper, is crucial if we are going to learn from the discussion. It is important to be able to use quotations and be able to paraphrase things that are being said in papers that are being researched to accurately understand the arguments and form an opinion of our own, as well as be able to construct

Many college students find themselves struggling, while trying to write papers in their English classes. This book was written to help you though these struggles. They say/I say by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein is a book that was designed to help students be better writers. I think that this book is absolutely a huge help to anyone in need of becoming a much more confident and better writer. This book has helped me learn how to write more structured sentences and how to form them in ways that sound better and are also more grammatically correct than before. I have learned how to properly demonstrate and use many writing techniques such as making quotations, playing the believing game, how to write strong summaries, how to plant a “naysayer”, and incorporate “so what?” and “who cares?” into my writing. This book can be extremely helpful to anyone in need of assistance or for people interested in

In my view, the types of templates that the authors recommend do help to organize putting arguments together and giving an extended vocabulary to those who might feel stuck. For instance, as mentioned in the book, this templates might help writers to improvise and build up ideas for their points. In addition, critical thinking is an unlimited form of judging , with that said, templates offer plenty of concepts to cover your argument up. Some might object, of course, on the grounds that templates could be a form of plagiarism since this concepts are used without being taken from the writer himself. Yet I would argue that mapping ideas with the techniques offered in a template isn't a form of plagiarism since we all develop our techniques and skills from methods used in the past. Overall, then, I believe templates aren't just a form to assure you a well developed and organized argument but also a creative form to express your ideas in a different diagram - an important point to make given a good writer developed from using different methods from different techniques, not necessarily plagiarizing, but replicating with their own

Additionally, for example, if a Catholic student were not able to have meat on Friday, the school should provide many options.

In our society, people communicate through various ways. One of the most essential way is writing. Through writing, people convey their thoughts and ideas, connect to others, and pass on wisdom generations by generations. More importantly, writing effectively promotes the advancement of society. Though some people have not realized the how writing benefits from writing, the author of the article “How to Read Like A Writer”, Mike Bunn illustrates that focusing more on the rhetorical “strategies” and structure rather than the content can improve our own writing.

Within the last couple of decades, technology has become a huge part in everyone’s daily lives. Everyday we look at our phone almost every five minutes and when we get home we all hop on some other form of technology such as our computers or televisions. However, this is almost exactly what Aldous Huxley and Neil Postman fear. There are some truths and some falsehoods to the statements that Postman proposed such as the idea that we will begin to enjoy our oppression, we will be ruled by the very things that we love, and that we will eventually be thrown so many lies that we will seize to know what the truth is and we will be exploring both sides of these assertions.

Throughout this class I have learn many different writing styles. We used APA form of writing to type our paper and essay. I have also learned that it’s good to take your time and spend more time thinking about what to write, other than just righting a paper right off back. I have learned that it’s not a good idea to write a paper on the day it’s done, that’s more like a ruff daft. My teacher have helped me understand different point of writing. Which all writing deal with an ethos, pathos and logos, either one or all of them will run through anything that tell you anything in writing. From what emotion are there to who have the rights to speak at the moment to what are the facts to agree with this person. As a class we have read articles, bio from many people to understand that it’s more then what the person is writing. Reading between lines and analyzing a part of the story can tell you more then what the writer is saying. Working together to understand something and work better than being alone thinking about a situation you can’t understand.

Writing is examined in the first chapter of “Writing about Writing”, a textbook by Elizabeth Wardle and Doug Downs. Not only does it examine articulate writing, but specifically the threshold Concepts of writing: “ideas that change the way you think, write, and understand a subject,” (Wardle, Downs 2011). Terms are used to educate readers, these terms are essential for the writer to better understand how to write, and for the reader to better understand composition. Three terms seem to do this; construct, contingency, and rhetoric.

Going to state in every sport is something you earn as a team or individually. It takes maybe your first year of high school or your last to go. Depending on how much work you’re willing to put into it. During my time in high school I had the opportunity to play sports. My favorite sports to play in school were tennis and swimming. The first year of high school I only did tennis since I was new in the school I didn’t know anyone but also I knew that if I joined school sports I would meet new people. I had in both sports friendly teammates that I would get along with just well.

In the current state of our society, there are many issues that have the ability to affect citizens on a daily basis. Some of these issues spark debates all the way up to presidential candidates, while others continue to hide in the shadows. A major issue in today’s society is the use of marijuana and other elicit drugs. Marijuana legalization has been a topic on many state house floors and senate meetings. Many states have legalized medical marijuana or some form of the two active ingredients: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) or CBD (Cannabidiol). Few states have legalized recreational use, which allows citizens over 21 to purchase marijuana for personal use. I want to propose a study on the effects of recreational use of marijuana in the US and
