Rhetorical Precis (9/4/2012)

The third chapter of Choices 2.0, written by Joe Marshall Hardin in 2010 examines the structures of writing, descriptions, citing one's sources and opinions. It is discussed further by explaining the different ways to support the thesis of any writing project, such as the importance of analytical structures as well as narrative and argumentative structures, but also going into detail about the necessity of citing sources and matters of opinion and arguments. The purpose of this chapter is to highlight the different structures used in writing that can enhance one's work, as well as the do's and dont's of opinion so that students may present their pieces with eloquence and credibility. When looking at the text within chapter three, it is evident that Hardin wrote this in order to persuade students to want to be better writers.
