D8, HW1, Reading Reflection

In Everything’s an Argument, in chapter 5 on page 105 it talks about how to really break down your paper and to focus on a few rhetorical questions. It also wants you to make sure you can “show how the key devices in argument actually make it succeed or fail.” In chapter 6 on page 147, the book goes into explaining the Toulmin Argument, which was started by Stephen Toulmin in The Uses of Argument (1958). Toulmin was a British philosopher who “described the way people make convincing and reasonable arguments.” Toulmin has become a very popular method and logic for help with arguments in the real world.
