Rhetorical Précis: Chapter 3 in Choices

            In his third chapter of, “Choices 2.0 Situations for College Writing” (2010), Joe Marshall Hardin demonstrates the proper structure of writing a strong piece of writing, which may include an argument, persuasion, or literary discussion. Hardin supports his claims by demonstrating an example of the proper structure, and the improper use of structure for an argument and letting the reader decide for his/herself which has a stronger appeal to the reader through structure and references to ethos, pathos, and logos. His purpose is to demonstrate the proper use of structural aspects (branding, dialogue, paraphrasing, etc.) in a way that clicks with the readers purpose of writing, therefore allowing them to create stronger pieces of writing in the future after being introduced to all important items suggested by the text. His audience is a base of writers trying to create a stronger argument, or more compelling and informative piece through structure by reading this book.
