hello tesselizabeth, I need to do a presentation about this image
1.How would you frame your reaction to this argument?
2.What appeal did this use (ethos, pathos, logos), and how can you tell?
3.Does the author use inductive or deductive reasoning here? How can you tell?
4.Depending on your choice, a Toulmin or Rogerian argument might be the best way to respond. Which structure would you use in a response? Please be specific. ( I will use Toulmin)
Toulmin arguement example;
Toulmin arguments are made of three parts: a claim, grounds (or reasons) to support the claim, and unstated assumptions known as warrants. Breaking down an argument into these basic parts is a great way to test a thesis:
Claim: Parents should buy their kids Mattel toys.
Grounds/Reasons: Because Mattel makes high-quality toys; because Mattel has competitive prices; because millions of Mattel toys are bought by other parents every year
In this set-up, the author plans to argue that Mattel is a superior brand based on three reasons. If you think back to the basic thesis form, the reasons would stand as the supports, and the author would have to back up each of these with facts drawn from sources. Yet, something is unstated here... something important to note:
Warrant: Parents should buy their kids toys of some kind.
