Margaret Kantz pg.446 q1. Meta Moment

  1. According to Kantz, in a rhetorical argument, facts are actually claims that an audience will accept as being true without requiring proof, though they may ask for an explanation; opinions are claims that an audience will not accept as true without proof, and even if proof is given, the audience may decide there's limited truth (possibly true for one case, but not another); argument includes both claims of facts and opinions to try and persuade the reader.

Meta Moment:

In this article, Kantz isn't only showing the faults students often make when writing, but also, how to correct those faults, or new ways to rhetorically analyze/read texts. This would be useful for a college student because it will help me to see/understand texts differently/better, and create better text documents.
