Writing Topic: Rules for Writers, chapter 48

Summary:
In Chapter 48 the main focus is evaluation arguments through different argumentative tactics and styles. The first way is using generalization to start off an argument by taking a few facts and molding them together into almost one fact. Another way of generalization is more hasty but can still be used, its call stereotypes, which is what we see because its what we want to see because of pre-made opinions about a certain group. Another way to evaluate an argument is through weighing potions. Weighing options means to talk about every part of a possible decision or atleast say that their are more than X amount of options. Making assumptions is a fast way to make a semi good point. Its hardly ever 100% true or strong but it can win peoples emotions pretty easily.

Explanation of how I will use this:
I think that in my idea drafts for essays I will use some assumptions just to generate ideas. I like the idea of using generalization for some things. I think that generalization in the intro paragraph or even in the beginning of one of the body paragraphs will help entice someone to want to read the facts behind a statement. The most I got out of reading about this was making every fact I could about something and not really leaving anything out, which is good because not only does it make your side of an argument extremely strong but it beefs up an essay a lot.
