Terry’s comments from the AP Lang Summer Work 2017 group.

Okay to start, I have to agree with you Mr. Frieden. The book itself has no good points and hasn't really helped create a stronger argument. The book points out obvious ways, and in my own eyes, it seems as if he picks on the basic ideas, and tries to make it sound bigger. Argument wise, he doesn't even touch it as much as he probably could have. Yes, it is helpful when he does point out things some people may have known, but he goes off-topic so much. Not only that, hes so attached to ethos pathos logos. Also he refers to old Greek/Roman history too much(like SOCRATES WOULD AGREE ON THIS!!). This is only much of an eye opener to common techniques used in our ever day life and allows us to get a better grasp of it? I guess the best Aha! situation would be when he really does how to explain to use it so it allows us to be more aware of when someone uses it so we could even counter with our own argument. But in the end, the book feels repetitive to me and just tries to grab onto viewers attention by things you may use but haven't noticed to peak someones interest. But yea its ok, maybe if he stuck to the point more, I give it a solid 4/10.
