Rules for Writers, Chapter 47 discusses how what is written will be recieved and discussed. It talks about social and intellectual contexts as having many sides. This brings to light the many opinions and also contributors of these texts. Making sure the information gathering process is done well and be ready for challenges. Readers will make up their own minds as to what side of the argument they will be on. Do not take for granted the audience agrees.
As in chapter 47c the introduction is a powerful tool and can set the tone of the paper. gathering facts and credible information from sources that are reliable builds on the idea you are knowledgeable and find your audience to be knowledgeable also. This will help bring them over to your side.
Making an outline of persuavive arguments that give two sides is another way of creating the thesis and any supporting information that backs it up. Facts, statistics, examples and illustrations also are great documentation for your thesis. This helps the reader to follow up on any further information.
This chapter also talk about opposing arguments and readers that do not agree with the same view as the author. Giving the reader a chance to see both sides of the argument tells them that the author is treating them with respect to their views which helps to persuade them to the author's side.
This chapter has building blocks that I can implement in my own writings by concentrating on giving the audience a strong thesis. I also like the idea of showing both sides of an argument and being able to win the reader over by examples and facts. Clearly, writing is a process that does not come together without researching information and making sure that information is factual.
