Chapter 5 in Everything's An Argument was kind of interesting. I've heard of pathos, ethos, and logos, but had never really known what they were. It's nice because like the Bedford Researcher, it gives you the format for writing and almost a step by step guide on how to write on how to write a analysis. I've never done an analysis before. It doesn't seem too much different from doing a proposal though. A lot of things seemed pretty common sense in chapter 6, such as warrants. It just seemed to give a format for writing statements and then supporting evidence. A Toulmin Argument looks like a lot of work. The outline shows 9 different things that should be in the argument. Chapter 8 was a little hard for me. I kind of understand what it's talking about. It seems so general though. Almost anything could be an argument of definition. I probably have about 10 of those a day just at work. It reminds me of the first chapter in this book where it was stating that anything could be argued on.
