| Summarize the article — include your reaction, thoughts, anything to help you remember its claims. 100 to 150 words | The word “argument” is often used as a negative term in society but it is viewed as a positive thing in writing. We often used Pathos, Ethos, and Logos in high school papers to use ethical reasoning and feeling. Jones talks about deductive reasoning, which is a conclusion based on multiple premises that are generally assumed to be true. Different arguments give different reasoning. Whichever is appropriate to use when persuading a reader. Jones argues that a good argument should “see all angles of the issue” and “find common ground”, in order to have a solution to the problem. She also discusses the way to appeal to a certain audience through “ethical appeal”. The right advertising and convincing to a person’s idea. Jones’ purpose of this article is to know which direction to go when creating an argument. Knowing all sides and aspects to an issue and then methods to support that argument– the “appeals”. |
