Greene Stuart Greenes article, Argument As Conversation.., gives an in-depth analysis of how scholars research is profound and unique in comparison to societies way of thinking. I did not really prefer this reading, partly because it was very lengthy. I felt smart when I read the section that was titled Frame a Good Question, because it had specific bullet points that I felt like I already knew how to use. Greene puts a great deal of emphasis on how framing effects how the research process is done, whether in reading or writing, and the results that are evidently affected by the framing effects. One thing I did like about this reading was Greenes detailed citations at the end of his piece of work. It helped me see how to correctly cite multiple sources for one document which I typically do not see every day. Not only impressed with his citations, I was kind of bewildered when I saw that he had a sentence and title for Acknowledgements. I do not know if it is something that I should have done in my writing now or if I havent written a research paper that actually required an acknowledgement. I agree with Greenes statement that Arguing is very much part of what we do every day. He is using a metaphor to show that in an argument, you have supporting points in which you believe to be true to support your argument. In writing you propose a certain topic and back that topic up with supporting points or facts. Through reading all of the required readings for this set of reading responses, I have learned that you can analyze a paper in ways that almost seem interesting to me! I have also learned that writing is more complex than I had ever conceived it to be, but only as long as too mush jargon is not written in a piece.
