Assignment task:
Talk about the Charles B. Wang Center building at Stony Brook University. Talk about why they would put water fountain inside the building? Is there is any other objects or things you see describe those as well.
Purpose: paper in which you argue how (or in what way) an object (or interrelated group of objects) inside a Stony Brook building aims to persuade a specific audience to act, know, or believe.
Development: The organization and development of your paper will depend on how you decide to narrow your argument, but narrowing the topic is crucial. Avoid general claims; instead, describe a very specific object within a building (or even a feature of a building) in order to demonstrate how it persuades a specific audience to act, know, or believe in a certain way. For example, you might analyze a poster in the department of your building. What does that poster want its audience to do or believe, and how do you know that? Remember, not all items are for a general audience. Most of the time, the item will have a specific audience in mind, so to your argument needs to address precisely why it might be persuasive to that audience.
