Chapter 7
In Lester Faigley and Jack Selzer’s book “Good Reasons”,
they claim that when writing about an argument, several different approaches
are often needed to achieve the same goal. These authors use a very good
example about the ways drunk driving could be prevented, and they also use
another less convincing example regarding diversity. The authors are trying to
show different approaches to an argument in order to teach students to write in
a more complex way. The authors are clearly writing to college students in
order to educate and give resources to be better writers.
Chapter 9
In Lester Faigley and Jack Selzer’s book “Good Reasons”, they
imply that causal arguments are much more complex than they sometimes seem to
be. These authors talked about the three basic forms that arguments can take
and the four methods of identifying a cause to support their assertion. The
authors gave great information and steps on building a better causal argument
in order to teach students to become more complex writers. Faigley and Selzer
are clearly writing with a college student’s focus in mind as is obvious by the
textbook feel of their work.
