Thank You For Arguing Review

After reading Thank You for Arguing: What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson can Teach Us about the Art of Persuasion, I learned that , while it was a nonfiction book, it was actually quite enjoyable. It was a different experience than the normally eye-roll inducing dread of summer reading assignments. Jay Heinrichs is a writer, an executive, a consultant, an editor, and a professor from New Hampshire. He has travelled the world teaching about his craft, so he knows quite a lot about presenting, which gives him more ethological values. In the book, Heinrichs uses comedy and relevant examples to make what normally would be a forced task, a willing experience. Chapter 28 was the most important part of the book because it teaches students

It dealt with writing persuasive essays.That makes it the most important because essay writing skills are vital to a student in an English class, no matter what grade they are in. Heinrichs doesn't flat out give a detailed itinerary for the essay writing process. He does, however, give tips and tricks for a successful paper. On the sides of the pages Heinrichs gives little pieces of advice on what to do where. One of the most helpful ones is on page 264. It is about the improper use of grammar which is a problem throughout many teens
