Alli Rising- Choices 2.0 Ch. 3 Rhetorical Précis

In chapter three in the book Choices 2.0 (2010) the author Joe Marshall Hardin asserts that once one has chosen their topic for a project they need to decide how to support the purpose of the writing and thesis. In order to support his purpose he gives three different structures for a writer to use to present their information. These three structures are narrative structure, analytical structure and argumentative structures. The first structure is narrative structures recount the writers or someone else’s personal experience that is used for the thesis for argument. Writing about a personal experience creates a more credible argument. Analytical structure is the second structure and has two reasons that it would be helpful throughout ones writing. The first is that it helps a writer examine their own thinking. The second is that makes ones writing noticeable to the reader. The final structure is argumentative structure is to persuade a reader to agree to the writers view on a topic or asking them to consider taking an action of some sort. Joe Marshall Hardin’s purpose was to help writers give structure to their writing and help them connect more to their readers.
