As I look over the things that I have written in the past, I realize how much I have learned. My thoughts about what an argument is have expanded. It's no longer something that involves two people, but more of one person with an opinion that want's to make his or her case.
I have enjoyed doing many of the in class writings as they were created just to get my thoughts out of me. I was able to do write about some things because they were fun and what was on my mind, and others were to share my ideas on what we had learned. We talked so much about rhetorical thinking and the ethos, pathos and logos of ideas. I don't usually look for the arguments in papers that don't seem to be opinionated, but then again, everything is opinion. Statistics are even skewed to the person's liking who is writing about them. Now I know how to look more closely at arguments to see what exactly the writer is trying to get across to us and how he is doing it.
