Chapter 47 is about constructing reasonable arguments, which means taking a stand on a debatable issue. The main goal of debating on a issue is not just to win, but to convince readers to reconsider their opinions. There are three different tones of arguments; aggressive, passive and assertive. Before stating your argument it is important to examine your issue’s social and intellectual contexts. Don’t be afraid to do some research in preparation of your argument and consulting a few sources can help. Another tip is to view your audience like a panel jurors because each person has a variety of opinions.
As mentioned in the chapter your introduction should include your thesis that states your position on the issue. This includes a good opening sentence with a sentence that is fair-minded which will help establish your credibility. A good thesis should have persuasive lines of argument which could help convince those that disagree. When developing ideas to support your thesis use examples, illustrations, facts, statistics. At times writers use experts opinions to support their argument, but just remember to provide credentials. Anticipating and countering objections can strengthen by showing you are a reasonable and well informed writer.
I believe that when writing an argument paper it is important to have a more assertive tone. It definitely will help get your opinion out to your readers. Even if the reader already agrees or disagrees with your opinion having sources to back it up will change views or simply giving that information out there. When writing essays I think giving examples or illustrations make a stronger persuasive essay. It gives a the reader a better picture of what you are trying to say.
