Arguments based on the heart-
i learned how to use emotion in my writing. You can use images and words to bring certain emotions to your readers. In chapter 2 it goes into alot of detail about this. When arguing i learned about using reasons and evidence to persuade your audience that its true. Using emotion in an argument it gives the writer more leverage. It also can back-fire if you use to much emotion. Such as, outrage, pity, and or shame. Also humor can be a good tool to use in an argument. If you can connect with the audience and make them feel comfortable and in a laid back environment it'll be easier to persuade them to your side.
Arguments based on characters-
i learned that first you need to establish yourself with the audience. Establishing authority, by your own beliefs, or show your respect to the readers, writing to them like they are who they are not below or above themselves. If you can prove your credibility your show your audience that you are trustworthy. Also go directly to what you want out of your propsal is. Dont flutter around with out letting your audience know why they are even bothering listening or reading your work.

Definitely want to be careful about getting to emotional in your arguments. If you rely to much on emotion and to little on facts and research you quickly lose credibility with alot of readers.
When posting the assignments, he also wants you to include which number assignment it is, like D7, HW1, Reading Reflection.
