Read, Reason And Write By Dorothy Sether
Arguments can happen in simple conversations between friends and coworkers. For example, “Sara was trying to convince her friend to join her in the library to study for their upcoming Organic chemistry exam. Sara states that the library is a good place to study because it has textbooks, computers and quiet environment making it the ideal location to study.” In this situation, Sara is trying to convince her friend to join study together for their upcoming organic chemistry test. Sara states several reasons on why they should study in the library such as the library containing textbooks on the given topic. The books will provide several different sources written by professors on the subject. The library will provide several computers where they can get unlimited information on the subject. Also, the library is a quiet environment that can enable maximum concentration on the subject. In this example, an argument is an idea that one is trying to prove to their audience

outside sources with their ideas to create a credible, effective and efficient argument.
Moreover, Dorothy Sethery, the author indicates that in writing arguments at one's workplace or college it's demanded to learn critical information through reading.
The act of restating the crucial main points in a writing assignment is called summarizing. In college, students are asked to write papers or deliberate to their classmates on the main points in a text. In this debilitation, one has to explain the writer's diction(word choice/style) by examining the figurative language, sentence patterns and tone the author uses. When summarizing one has to discern the most important ideas in the text; ignore the irrelevant information and integrate the central ideas in a meaningful
way.
In addition to summarizing in writing assignment one can paraphrase the critical information. Paraphrasing is when a person uses his or her own words to express someone else's ideas. When paraphrasing, one has to maintain the ideas and meaning of the source; meanwhile stating it in your own words. Unlike summarizing, when using paraphrasing one has to condense the entire information into a shorter work.So when paraphrasing, one has to restate some of the information from your source in your writing assignment. For example, paraphrasing can be used to inform a friend about a movie, news or television show you just watched. Paraphrasing is a precise way to restate complex information for the clarity of your reader.
Furthermore, the author indicates that besides summarizing and paraphrasing one can use direct quotes in their writing assignments. Quoting is when one uses the exact words from the source that is deemed essential. In other words, quoting is a word from word duplicate from the source. In writing assignments, direct quoting is used to present a position or argument to critique on to show that the readers sources that justify the writer's claims and reasoning.
Arguments take a critical role in the society, by questions the roles things play. Arguments can vary from a simple conversation between friends to discussing bills in Capitol Hills. Argument allows people to investigate ideas by collecting, generating and evaluating information to establish a position. Argumentative writing assignment allows students to analysis extensive research on a topic to understand different points of views on the issue.
