When I read the chapter last night, it was pretty much full of all of the information that I already knew about. What I mean by that is that I pretty much already knew how to make en effective argument due to having to analyze so many different arguments in this class. It's all about how you put the information together and how well it can work to make an effective argument, but you must pay attention to the details within your written argument. I had no idea though that punctuation was a major influence in creating an effective argument but I did already know that grammar and word choice was because if you can't even spell the words, why even waste your time trying to convince someone if they can't even make sense out of your argument?
Also, when I was reading about how sentence structure, I had no idea that the style and the way you compose the sentence could have such a strong impact on the readers/audience. Not only does it matter on how you start the sentence but also the length, as described in the chapter. When starting a sentence, you never want to start it the same way you started the previous sentence. I have always had a problem with that and reading this chapter helped me better understand how i'm supposed to write and compose my sentences.
Again, I knew about how to write paragraphs and arguments but that's it. I didn't have any knowledge of how it was done. so reading this chapter really helepd me in a sense to become stronger with my writing.
