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

After reading "Thank You For Arguing," in total, I just wasn't satisfied. I mean at first, the author did seem to hook me on to the rhetorical devices that should be implemented into arguing today. But after the first half of the book, it just seemed as if he was rambling off into other topics that were not needed. Also, referring back to message #10, I disagree with the statement, "I wouldn't even say arguing is a real thing." In my opinion, Jay Heinrichs created this book to improve our own view on arguing. It was meant to discover each and every quality put into the concept to make us strong in our rhetoric language used today. Humans drive the process of arguing through the art of persuasion, therefore making it a real topic seen before our eyes.
