Thank You for arguing
Chapter 1
In this chapter a father, whose a writer uses his writing skills in real life situations. He is talking about how argument surrounds you. It lies behind political labeling, advertising, jargon, voices, gestures and guilt trips. The father uses his son for example, There was no more toothpaste but another tube was downstairs, which he did not feel like going to get. Instead he asked his son what happened to the toothpaste, Made him feel smart which caused no argument and he got what he wanted.
Chapter 5
In any type of writing, or physical appearance you want the audience to like you. For example people like comedians because of the jokes they tell. Rhetorical decorum is the art of fitting in. Whatever crowd you are around, you will do what they do so you can fit in. Using ethos in your writing, presentations or just in a conversation could match the audiences expectations for a leaders tone, appearance and manners.
Chapter 6
In any type of situation you have an audience. The audience may like you, but they need to trust you to win them over. The audience believes you share their value, which means you have something in common, this is called virtue or cause. When you appear to know the right thing to do on every occasion, (which is why the audience would trust you) is called practical wisdom or craft. Last but not least you seem to be impartial, caring only about the audience interest rather than your own, this is called ethos.
Chapter 8
For someone to truly be on your side, they must know you care. "Disinterested goodwill" combines selflessness and likeability, which is "caring". Act as though you felt compelled to reach your conclusion, despite your own desires. When the book used the boy who wanted to use his fathers car for example. His interest lies in walking, not driving. He makes it seem as if the reason he would need the car is for the girls safety.
Chapter 13
Using logos is a good way to control the argument, and achieve your own goals. Like using the phrase "Eat all of it, children in Africa are starving" well eating the food won't make them not hungry. But it would be a good way to convince someone to eat their food. But it won't help the kids in Africa. That was a good way to control the argument.
Chapter 14
Fallacies are things you can spot in writing or while someone is taling. It's when someone says or writes something that's not true, and may even sound stupid. For example homer asked Lisa if she wanted a doughnut. Lisa said "no thanks, do you have any fruit" the doughnut was purple so homer was convinced the doughnut was a fruit. Some fruit are purple but just because something is purple doesn't make it a fruit.
