Style in Argument

This week in Professor Waits English 1302 1st period class, we continued to discuss and answered rhetorical questions about the hit broadway musical Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda on Wednesday and Friday. On Monday, we did a Candy Sales assignment where we advertised a piece of candy using only what was on the packaging.

Argument styles are different types of ways that people discuss things. Some kinds are rhetorical, logical, fallacious, and social dynamics (“Types of Argument Syles.”).

I noticed rhetoric and argument in class this week when we discussed multiple Hamilton questions.

Constructing my own Rhetorical Piece: Question/Problem: Has social media become a harmful distraction to everyone? Solutions/Answers: Yes, because people spend too much time on social media apps that distract them from the real world. No, because social media helps us connect with other people, therefore, we are becoming more social people.
