In
the fourth Chapter, “Drafting and Revising Arguments,” of Good Reasons (2012),
Lester Faigley and Jack Selzer claim that various components of the drafting
process for an argument paper are important and need practice. Faigley and
Selzer support this claim by stating the components of the paper that they
claim are important, like the thesis, and show why it is important and how to
revise these components, along with explaining how to analyze the same
components in another author’s paper. Faigley and Selzer’s purpose is to
instruct students on how to draft and revise their own, and other authors,
arguments in order to cause the students to become better at writing their
arguments and refining their ideas further. The intended audience for the
article is a group of college students, because the words “college,” “campus,”
and “university” are used many times throughout the text and the vocabulary and
subject matter is on a college level.
