Chapter 10

I found chapter ten to be my favorite chapter yet. I feel that validity is all well and good when it comes to making an argument, but let’s face it for the most part arguments involve some form of emotion.Appealing to fear was a very interesting concept in that it describes a way of appealing to the emotion of fear to get someone to believe you. For example those who are against drug use will put out campaigns showing how using marijuana for example will damage family relationships and friends and even cause people to do poorly in school. The reader would see these reasons to not use marijuana as a threat and therefore not use the drug. Fear is used in political campaigns very often. Candidates will often make you feel like you should either vote for them or suffer some consequence. Appealing to fear, in my opinion, is not always a valid argument, but one will get their point across.
