Argumentative Writing : Persuasive And Persuasive

A writer can influence a reader in many ways using many different strategies. They may be influenced with emotion, logic, and experience. A main way of influencing your reader is to support your claims thoroughly. At the beginning of the semester, and through part of the semester, I would come up with a good main point, but I would lack Good supporting detail to my claims. After being in this class, I realize more that I need to come up with good supporting evidence to back up my claims.

Introduce the first main point of the argument. Then, provide evidence from the sources. Multiple pieces of evidence should be provided to support the main point.

1. I wrote arguments in my persuasive and literary analysis to fulfill standard one. I used my research as evidence and combined that with my prior knowledge to make educated arguments to support my claims. I spent time going through information and analyzing the information to find sufficient evidence.

The purpose of this assignment is to make us capable to argue our claims with evidences. Moreover, it also learnt to be aware of the other side of the argument by writing the counter argument.

Evidence (facts, statistics, true stories, interviews, etc.) *NOTE- Think about what type of appeal would work best with this argument:

This course has taught me that an argument will be most effective when both sides are presented to the reader. It is not enough to persuade the reader to agree with the opinion of the writer by only presenting evidence that proves his/her view point. Every person will have their own personal opinions on a topic. Most of the time there is no definite answer as to whether or not they are right or wrong.

An argument is a disagreement between two or more individuals based on ones beliefs or opinions with the purpose of disproving the other person’s beliefs or opinion. There are four elements to make an argument legitimate, and then you have to present the evidence for that argument. Then there is the counterargument where you have to defend your claims followed by your rebuttal where you will have to show all of the evidence you have to disprove the other person argument that they have against yours. If you can present these elements it will show your level of research and intelligence about the subject that is in question.

As a “Advanced Placement” student during high school much of my time was spent writing essays on various topics and challenging prompts. Many of my essays centered around structuring supportive arguments to push or pull the audience in my direction of belief. Writing a persuasive essay often included looking for multiple supportive cases, choosing two or three that best “pushed” my view, and including these real world cases and examples throughout my essay to help “build” my case.

Argumentation – An argument is writing that is used to convince the audience of something.

I am able to use evidence to back up my ideas and prove my point. My writing this year has helped me grow in this area. I have learned about the different types of claims, like claim of value, fact, and policy, and different methods of arguing, like induction and deduction. I have used all of these techniques throughout my writing. When I am struggling with a prompt, like for my quotation essay, I look at it like an argument. This helps me make my purpose clear. A good example of my strength of argumentation is my paper on why schools should not have letter grades. In this essay, I used points and evidence to argue my claim. I also used a deductive method, meaning that I started with an observation and worked my way to a conclusion. This allowed me to effectively argue my claim and use evidence to support it. I know that I am good at writing an argumentative piece and I believe that it is my biggest

The use of persuasive rhetoric writing can be helpful in the working world, especially when you need people to follow you. Using Ethos, is a way to approach your audience by establishing common ground, instead of coming off as authoritative. Even if someone doesn’t have the same views as you, if you acknowledge their values and beliefs, it’s easier to persuade them, because they see you do care about their opinion. As I move forward in any form of communication it is important to keep that in mind, and next year I’ll being using it a lot as president of CAC. Being the president of club means you have to communicate with your members, and the general public. CAC is involved in getting others to help, with the biggest event we hold, Relay for Life.

(Ramage, Bean, & Johnson, 2012). The best way in choosing an argument is finding a topic that can make a good statement or debate. Gathering enough evidence to prove your topic, can have the audience agree with the focus. College students will tend to write on arguments that they are very interested in or something that they can relate too. There two main helpful ideas when choosing evidence and research. First hand research is research that has been established by doing interviews, experiments, surveys, or personal experiences and anecdotes. Second hand research is research from getting other ideas and or information such as books, periodicals, and web sites. All evidence of work must be trustworthy, dependably, and credible resources (The Writing Lab & The Owl at Purdue, 2016). The reason for an argument is to persuade other people or another person, to your point of view (Hult & Huckin, 2016). The 5 key terms of information are specific thing to look upon when creating an argument. Persuade who are undecided to agree with you, reinforce views with those who already agree with you, try and change the minds of those who are in disagreement, what is being written, the writer should have his/her own feeling to the choose looked upon or frowned upon, and finally, a college student whether they are or not, they need to show the ability to work through the

A line of reasoned argument must be developed in order to persuade the audience in an effective way. In order to persuade the following things needs to be followed: 1) Focus on the needs of the other party: Listen to the interests of other parties carefully in order to get an insight about their expectations and interests. 2). Argue your case with certain logic: An extensive research must be done in order to develop a know how of one’s own ideas and also those of the competitors. 3) Use positive instead of negative language: It dictates that an individual should make use of phrases and sentences that can persuade or convince audience in a positive and effective way. 4) Sublty complement the other party as it will help an individual to gain more acceptance in the eyes of the competitors.

So, what is an argument? An argument is well defined as giving of reasons, evidence and support for a claim that something is true. Most importantly, there are two essential elements involved in addressing arguments as the basis of critical thinking. The first component is argument identification and the second element is argument evaluation. In this section, we will focus on identification of argument.
