About this ebook
Argument Building offers a comprehensive guide to persuasive essay writing, focusing on constructing effective arguments applicable across various nonfiction genres. The book emphasizes that persuasive writing is a learnable skill, not an innate talent, built upon understanding core principles like structuring arguments with clear introductions, body paragraphs, counterarguments, and conclusions. Readers will discover techniques for deploying rhetorical devices such as ethos, pathos, and logos to engage audiences intellectually and emotionally.
The book progresses systematically, beginning with fundamental concepts such as identifying a clear thesis and understanding the target audience. It then details the construction of individual arguments, covering topic sentence formulation, credible evidence integration, and logical reasoning. Chapters also explore common argumentative pitfalls, offering strategies for avoidance, culminating in practical exercises and case studies.
The book uniquely dissects existing successful essays in language arts, social commentary, and scientific argumentation, allowing readers to learn persuasive techniques by example.
