内容简介

This concise, student-friendly rhetoric provides clear, highly practical advice for writing arguments, including the four most common types: factual, causal, evaluation, and recommendation. Structured around the three main phases of writing — focusing, supporting, and reviewing, For Argument's Sake helps readers find and focus a claim, identify an audience, work through the support process, and then refine and polish their argument. Numerous sample arguments illustrate the principles and strategies including several pieces written by students. Ideal for individuals looking for a short text offering practical advice on how to write persuasive arguments.
