read this excerpt from rudolfo anayas essay take the tortillas out of your poetry
tortillas and poetry. they go hand in hand. books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. our distinct
cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different
cultures, we become freer and freer....
i dont know anyone who doesnt like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just
as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. i travel to foreign countries in my path of
more about myself as i learn more about my fellow human beings. censorship imposes itself in my path of
knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one.
which of these changes would make this excerpt more argumentative?
using words that affect the audiences sense of trust
using less repetition of certain words and phrases
including words that address logic and reason
including words that are charged with emotion
An argumentative text aims to persuade by using logical reasoning. Addressing logic and reason (logos in rhetorical appeals) strengthens the argument. Words affecting trust (ethos) or charged with emotion (pathos) are also part of persuasion but logic - based elements are key for argumentativeness. Reducing repetition doesn't directly make it more argumentative.
