Responding to objections
1. A one sided argument presents the writer's issue on the issue without summarizing or responding to other viewpoints. The kind of audience for this would be one that is supportive. A multisided argument presents the writer's position, but does summarize and responds to objections and other views. This kind of audience would be both opposed and supportive it just depends on what side of the argument you like better. A dialogic argument where the writer presents himself as uncertain and the audience is considered a partner in the dialogue and the writer is trying to find common ground to find a solution. This would be an audience that's mostly supportive.
2. A one sided argument can affect the writer's use of ethos, pathos and logos because it is from only one side. I feel like there would be a lot of ethos because it focuses on what the writer's feels about the subject he or she is writing about. Also it will have good credibility since it is from one source. Multisided and dialogic arguments will effect the appeals of them too because there are many emotions and different sources of credibility of what the writer is trying to say.
3. When you refute an opposing view you try to convince the readers that the argument is flawed, has bad support, or based on incorrect assumptions. In this view you can rebut the writer's stated reason and basis, the writer's warrant and support. or both. An example of this in the paper is when the writer disagrees with the point that the First Place is too expensive, but she argues that it's expensive because students are at risk for bad habits so its really saving the students. Conceding to an opposing argument is that you switch the field of values shown by the writer you disagree with to a different field of values more favorable to your position.
4. In paragraph 3 Hamilton uses the example of citing counterexamples and countertestimony to back up her argument. She does this because she asks another person who also know about First Place and gave their view on it in agreement with what she argues.
5. A delayed thesis argument assumes an exploratory approach to a subject. It's appropriate to use it when you have views that the audience may not like so you decided to slowly show your point instead of stating them right away.
6. A Rogerian argument works to change the writer as well as the reader. It helps solve differences. It's a way to see an issue sympathetically from another person's perspective. The kind of audience is people who typically agree with what the writer is saying, they have the same values as the writer.
7. I feel like the argument is multi sided because he gives many people's views on skateboarding instead of just his. He tells us other people's viewpoints about us. I also think that this is a classical argument also.
8. One example that he concedes with is when he talks about how it was nice of people to make skate parks for them to skate at, but he does not like that they are always crowded and not made right. An example of a refuting argument is when he explains how people say skateboarders are criminals or antisocial, but he argues and says that they are normal people, they just found a cool way to use cement to make it more fun.
