Reading

From reading in the book about writing an argument, I learned that writing an argument is most definitely related to analyzing an argument. In order to write an effective argument, you must know who your target audience is, depending on what you are writing about. The audience is one of the most important factors when it comes to writing an argumet, as your writing style, genre, etc. will depend on the audience. I also read that arguments can be presented in many different ways, such as articles in magazines/newspapers, commercials, jingles/songs, visual ads, etc. All of these arguments should appeal to pathos, ethos and logos. All three rhetorical appeals are imperative to writing an effective argument, and it seems that pathos is the one that really stands out and immediately grabs people's attention, such as humor, sadness, etc.
