Most of these entries had to do with what we did in the previous class to see if we understood the material and how we assessed it. Taking this course has widened my view of arguing. I mostly thought of arguing as a debate going back in forth between two people, but it’s more than that. Arguing has to do with giving accreditation to others works to help you fight your opinion. It has to do with reaching out the audience in order to persuade them to go onto your side. It’s not about just proving a point; it’s about getting the ethos, logos, and pathos in order to justify a claim. Now that I have learned these new skills, I think I’d find myself arguing more, since now I know persuasive manners to grab hold of my listener. My family and friends used to think I was good at arguing before, wait until they see what I can do now.
