In our reading from pages 269-284 we cover these two topics, the role of argument and analyzing arguments. The first section, the role of argument, states how argument is part of our daily lives and how it is necessary to cope with the world around us. In the section it uses examples like Madonna and Martin Luther King Jr. to support their (the author’s) points. The next section is about analyzing arguments. In this section they point out that when you encounter an argument, which are everywhere, you should analyze who is arguing, what’s at stake in the argument, and what claim the argument is making. These pages I read told me the importance of argument, how to guide through an argument and understand it, and how to present an effective argument myself.
