Chapter Two Rhetorical Summary

In their book, “Good Reasons,” Lester Faigley and Jack Selzer assert the importance of how to correctly analyze and critique an argument. Faigley and Selzer effectively show how to analyze by giving various examples of how to understand the structure of an argument by using specific techniques, such as mapping. In order to show the importance of this particular technique, the authors state: “The sources may approach this issue from different angles or raise different questions instead of simply stating differing positions on the issue.” This particular article is meant for anyone who is interested in improving how to improve analyzing a critical argument.
