Activity:

Reading The Aims of Argument

Observation:

As I was reading, I began to notice that there is truly an art to arguing! Previously, I thought of arguing as simply persuading someone to believe something that they feel differently about. After reading chapter one, I realized that I knew very little about arguing. The discovery of this newfound art made me want to learn more about it and try it on someone. Overall it left me with a positive perspective on the course and eager to explore how well I could perform in an argument using this method.
