For your evidence I would have used direct quotations like I stated in your last post simply because I would have a better sense of where you're trying to go. I'm not reading the book you're talking about so I'm not too sure on the argument, but you did give purpose on why the author chose to use those argument types.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see more information, either direct quotes and/or your own thoughts. I have very little to go off of since I am not reading the same book as you. Would you say that four cases constitutes a reasonable and convincing number of cases in the mind of most readers? What is a convincing number and would one really vivid and well documented case be enough to convince people?
