Writing Argument's promotes fair and objective points of view. It's important to stay within bounds of fairness and avoid bias. The writer can stand their grounds in their argument but, in order for your argument to be credible, it is important to acknowledge others points of view. There’s no apparent strategy to measure your unfair summary, but it can be avoided by following a few guidelines, don’t distort a position or expertise and don’t oversimplify someone’s argument point of view. Other ways to make sure your writing a fair summary is to make sure the support of the argument is not misleading or distorted, the writer should avoid misleading evidence or misrepresent the evidence in the presenting. Avoid quotes out of context to change the meaning of the quotes. Avoid using unfair appeals. Normally, in an argumentative essay there are three types of appeals to your audience (1) logical appeals, appeals to the reasonable side of your audience, (2) emotional appeals,

This chapter of the textbook by E. Shelley Reid’s Ten Ways To Think About Writing: Metaphoric Musings for College Writing addresses writing students. Reid uses expository and descriptive types of writing in her text. She describes and explains about the ten different important things when it comes to writing. One example in her chapter is where she explains how to write by the rules, describes the steps on how to be a successful writer and why some people struggle with writing essays or paragraphs sometimes. The writer quoted, “Write about what you know about so that you can show not just tell in order to adapt to your audience’s needs and accomplish your goals. Unless you do a good job showing what you mean, your audience will not understand your message.” (4) She also stated in one of her steps that sometimes the audience or readers of an essay or writing cannot exactly understand what the writer is trying to tell them. She tells her audience to

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 order to answer this task, I will suggest methods of how Greggs can improve the validity of the information gathered from primary and secondary research.

Chapter 5 of They Say I Say is a very interesting chapter because it talks about improving your writing. In the chapter, they talk about learning how to state your own opinion without sounding biased. I believe that one great example of this is when the author exclaims, “I have a problem with what liberals call cultural differences.” This type of writing is important because you can express your own views and opinions without sounding biased. This type of writing only works if you can integrate parts of their argument into your own. Another method discussed in this text was using references to things you said prior to that. One good example of this could be when it states that,“ We would argue that voice markers we identified earlier, are extremely

Chapter 3 in They Say/ I Say is all about quoting. Graff and Birkenstein, not only explain to readers the correct and incorrect way to quote a text, but also why it’s important to use quotes the right way. The authors insist that, in order to successfully compose an effective argument, the writer needs to incorporate what others have previously said into their own text. By doing so, it enhances your creditability, while at the same time makes sure your writing remains fair and accurate.

What was the background for the research study? That is, what previous knowledge did the author describe as a foundation for the study in the “review of related literature”?

The article “They Say I Say”written by Graff and Birkenstein discusses several ways to not only write academically but express thoughts in an academic manner. The first aspect talked about is how to write about what others are saying. This helps clarify what exactly the author is talking about. After you have stated what “they say”, you can state your own argument and tell what you agree with. Graff and Birkenstein also state that stating your own opinion as quickly as possible is also important; this gives the reader an understanding about the motivation of your argument is. In contrast to this article, the article “Agonism in the Academy: Surviving High Learning's Argument Culture” written by Deborah Tannen explains how agonism is like a

In chapter 4 of They Say I Say, Graff, Birkenstein, Durst focus on the strategies in offering the writers’ response to the other’s idea. Generally, the three most common attitudes of response are agreement, disagreement and combination of the former two attitudes. Since a disagreement to someone’s idea means a new argument in the essay, authors claim that the writer who shows a disagreement to someone’s idea should continue providing a reason or explanation. Equally, writer who shows a combination attitude to someone’s idea should continue stating the part that he/she disagree and the reasons of this attitude. Besides the strategies, authors also provide the templates in clearly responding the “they say”.
