Chapter 5

When it comes to writing a rhetorical analysis, this chapter will be very helpful. I like how this chapter gave details and numerous examples of how to examine all three aspects of an argument. Another thing that I found interesting was that visual arguments were included in the analyses seen in this chapter. One thing I found particularly interesting was the role that style can play in an argument. The chapter tells us that without even really knowing what style is, readers can still evaluate an argument based on style.An argument that is too formal might make a reader think the argument is above them and should not bother reading it whereas writing an argument in a more personal style can be just what will hook the reader and make them interested in the argument you are making.
