Rhetorical Precis Chapter 7

In Chapter 7 of "Good Reasons Researching and Writing Effective Arguments" Lester Faigley and Jack Selzer assert that a writer rarely sets out to define something in an argument for the sake of the definition, to compare for the sake of comparison, or to adopt any other ways of structuring an argument. Faigley and Selzer support their claim by suggesting that many writers now a days have a purpose in mind and they use the kinds of arguments that use multiple approaches and multiple sources of good reasons. The writers soon suggest that by using a combination of different approaches and multiple sources to support the argument being presented.Faigley and Selzer seem to have a supportive tone towards providing students with good information about writing an argument. They seem to keep their audience in mind by outlining what the next few chapters have in store for the reader.
