There are multiple argumentation styles and types of reasoning a writer can use to make their argument effective. There are three main argument styles, which are called the Aristotelian approach, the Rogerian approach, and the Toulmin approach. Each of these styles incorporates evidence in different ways and have the claim stated in different sections of the argument. There are different types of reasoning that can be used to strengthen a writer’s argument, which include inductive and deductive reasoning. However, writers can accidently use fallacious reasoning, which can make their arguments invalid and unreliable. Fallacious reasoning can also discredit the author’s argument. Anne Fadiman and Rebecca Skloot have different and similar writing techniques. Anne Fadiman uses a Rogerian approach in her writing whereas Rebecca Skloot uses the Aristotelian approach. Even though they both have fallacies within their arguments, Rebecca Skloot is more effective and successful in her arguments than Anne Fadiman because she uses an Aristotelian approach and uses different types of inductive/ deductive reasoning to strengthen her claim.
For years, women have always been dealt the short hand or always have pulled the short stick.Women have never been treated fairly and even to this day we are not seen as equal to a man.I could have chose any woman but I chose one woman in particular who has had this experience first hand, Rebecca Lee Crumpler. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, unlike most, was born a “free” slave. Raised under the care of her aunt, who had medical training herself.She learned some of the ins and outs of the medical field. Crumpler later relocated to Charleston, North Carolina, and became a nurse because there were not many female doctors, let alone an African American one, but that was all about to change. Since she worked so well with the doctors and excelled at her job,
An Ivy League girl who has no daddy issues and a rich family is no better than any other woman because she has never taken her clothes off for money. A girl is no better than a woman who allows people to caress her, or escorts on the side based on her boundaries. Different things work for different people. Free a woman to live the life in which she is more than the way she looks, what she buys or what she has to sell, and she will amount beyond what society could have even imagined for her. Compromise for the sake of being accepted is insolent. Once the boundaries set by society are broken, society does everything within its power to contain the beasts again. Daphne Du Maurier felt the restraints 1920s
