Daniel O'Brien Be Feb45, 2015 In this piace, Greane opens by describing what he believes constitutes an intelligent argument. According to Greene, an argument should not only convey your understanding and opinion of the topic through carefully conducted research, but should also address why you understand why those opposing your argument feel the way that they do. Greene notes that a hugely important aspect of argument is raising ‘questions that do not necessarily have outright straight-cut answers, but rather are open to interpretation. Greene then elaborates on important things to de when preparing for waiting an ergument such as identifying relevant issues, speculating on whal ebjections a reader ight heve, identify the context or situation of the argument, and finally, framing the argument. Framing is effective, for example when describing a topic that most readers may be unfarriliar with. For examplo, whon writing about a particularly complicated modical topic regarding potential cures for specific types of cancer, a physician may begin the piece with the name of a potential drug and what kind of cancer this drug may potential cure most effectively, and subsequently go back to those two main pcints when describing particulerly complicated parts in order to frame his or her argument more effectively As someone who went through junior high and school wating argument papers almost exclusively in the classical form of "state your ‘argument, cite evidence, address opposing arguments then refute them, and conclude” this new method of writing argument papers could definitely prove very useful when writing papers for this class as well as throughout the rest of my college cereer and even in my future career. | naver realized that “framing” one's argument was just 2s important as making one, as it gives your reader much better understanding of your argument than if you simply took the classical route Greene, S.
