Dear Arguers,

All writing is persuasive writing. You make your reader believe the world you create with words. You write a story–no matter how fantastical–that contains a deep truth that your reader understands. You compose an essay arguing the smallest point–Creamy Peanut Butter is better than Chunky Peanut Butter–but you do it in a way that convinces your reader to see everything in the world from your point of view.

If the world asked questions with only one right answer, then we wouldn’t need to argue. But we know there are lots of right answers in this world, so we have to make our case.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
