They Knew The Unknown

Argument Modifier:	Premise:	Book Location:	Usage:
Prestige	Abstract	“ ‘One thing only I know, and I say it with all the emphasis I can give to words: there is another and supernormal way of getting knowledge’  The words are those of Upton Sinclair (1878-1968), social crusader, novelist, pamphleteer, author of some ninety books…”  Page 222 Chapter 22	Here they’re trying to argue this idea of there being supernatural powers by quoting someone and then explaining why what this person is saying should matter (because of their prestige)
Illustration	Presumptions	“At the time of Dr. Savage’s story the cable was not yet in existence.  Savage had a friend who set out for Ireland.  A few days later Savage was awakened one midnight and saw his friend by his bedside.  The friend said that he was dead, but not from drowning.  The boat had been wrecked on the coast of Ireland.  He had been killed by a beam that struck the left side of his head as he tried to get off the ship…Two or three weeks later came the news that the ship had indeed been wrecked; his friend’s body was found with the left side of his head crushed.” Page 224 Chp. 22	The author is using someone’s narrative in order to tie events together to prove that people can get knowledge paranormally.
Illustration	Presumptions	“I have the habit of working out a chapter of a book in my head, and writing down a few notes on a scrap of paper, and sticking it away in any place that is handy;  then, the next day, or whenever I am ready for work, it is gone, and there is the devil to pay” page 227 Chp. 22	Same as the example above.  The author is using someone’s events to prove paranormality, telepathy, ect. Is an actual thing and we should agree.
