Description

Avoiding the technical jargon for which English professors are known and admired, this down-to-earth textbook:

  • Introduces the college essay and explains how it differs from the report, reflection paper, persuasive paper, and five-paragraph trainer-essay.
  • Guides students through the process of researching and developing thoughtful arguments of their own.
  • Shows students how to present their arguments within the confines of effective college writing.
  • Warns students repeatedly about the dangers of not thinking for themselves.

The Humble Argument presents argumentative writing in everyday language so that non-majors are more likely to understand these ideas and put them to good use.
