Chapter One Précis


In Joe Hardin’s book “Choices 2.0 Situations for College Writing” (2010), he emphasizes that there are necessary steps a writer must follow, and essential qualities a paper must have, in order to complete an advance piece of writing. Hardin supports his points by presenting results of studies done on writers who are “experienced” and “inexperienced”, while also informing the reader the methods of Aristotle, and the methods he used to be persuasive. His main purpose is to inform college students how to correctly structure their writing in order to persuade the reader. Hardin seems to be addressing an audience of young college students because his tone is very erudite, yet extremely simple and informative as a professor’s would be.
