11/16/11

Todays chapters were on definition and argument. There are several techniques for writing simple definitions such as basic dictionary meaning, synonyms, direct explanation, indirect explanation and analytical or formal definition. I though chapter 14 was fairly easy to understand. To have an argument, you must have evidence. The four kinds of evidence that can be used are facts, examples, statistics, and authorities.
