Envision Chapter 3 by Clint Kearney

Chapter 3 explains the effective ways to write an argument and to back it up. In ancient Greece, all communicative acts were categories into five sections; invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery. These 5 sections of communicative acts are were named the canons of rhetoric by the ancient Greeks. In order to communicate with the audience in an effective and persuasive way, these 5 categories of communication were needed. Each of these categories are needed in order to craft a position paper. This chapter also describes a position paper and the importance of being able to take a side on a discussed topic and being able to defend ones viewpoint with sources and facts and evidence. Great usage of the five categories of communication in an argumentative essay will be a read worth many peoples time.
