GRR:
The word argument in an everyday conversation is used when people converse in a slightly aggressive manner, while in an academic setting I feel like the word argument simply means that students are expressing their feelings about a topic, which benefits everyone. Without arguements, we would not be able to see various points of views or gain knowledge based on others' opinions.
QD:
1) According to Greene, reading plays a prominent role in what is expected of me when it comes to writing because I can incorporate others' points to base my opinion and further my knowledge of a topic.
2) Greene quotes this passage by Kenneth Burke to prove that every argument is connected to other arguments. The metaphor shows that you can gather information from others top help yourself express your own thoughts. Although you enter the discussion late, you can still catch up and join in it. This presents writing in a strong opinionated way.
3) Framing is an organizational method that can be answered with tools you have and answers the questions- how, why, or, whether, and the the extent to which. The metaphor underlying framing is the perspective the author is presenting. This concept is important to Greene because he encourages writers to voice their perspective in their writing. Framing allows writers to name their position, offer definitions and descriptions of the principle of the argument, specifies the argument, which encourages others to provide counterarguments, and it also helps with organization.
AEI:
2) Greene's article does not represent a conversation. He frames his argument by using other authors to help back up what he is saying and help prove his point. I think Greene practices what he preaches because he follows his own format and his writing is the way he says it should be.
