Whenever we argue we want to prove the person we are arguing with wrong, right? We can't just start an argument and have nothing to oppose what the person we are arguing with is saying. This is the same when we write an argument paper. When we are writing our paper we have to remember that we are arguing with the opposing point of views of our subject. By introducing the opposing sides and showing our point of view shows the reader that we know what we are talking about and that even though they are several of sides to the argument they will know why we are taking the stance we are.
In this reading I find it interesting how it introduces the "they say" technique to help us as the writers introduce our perspective in our argument. When we let our reader know the different point of views they will be able to see why we agree or disagree with that. It also benefits us because we are filled with more curiosity and learn new things that we can present in our paper.
After all we need something or someone to argue with, or else our paper will be more of a plain and boring persuasive paper and although we want to persuade our audience we want to let them know why and what else is out there. We want them to see why they should agree with us and not leave them with doubts because that can lead them to turn against what we are trying to say. Of course we all have our own different opinions but it will be best if we can have our reader entertained through our paper so that by the end they can create their own opinions.
This reading is helpful to us because it shows us a good simple way to take a stand in our paper but also let the reader know of what else is out there. Not only do we get to let our reader know information about our subject but we as well will be able to learn more about it too. By the time we are done with out paper we will have enough information to support our paper.
