I've always thought that essays are all about the argument, and I think it has always been that way because no matter what are our point or our thesis we have to support it or try to alleviate the effect of the counter argument. However, I have never thought about the idea of persuasion. I did not really see the idea of having evidence as persuading the readers in a variety of ways.

One of the important points I saw in the reading is how to favor different type of readers. For a supportive reader, we solidify our argument by giving more supportive points, A wavering reader can be put onto a favor by proving the validity of our position. Also, for the a hostile reader, we need to be realistic with out arguments and other situations that we can assume how can be resolved. The idea of the argumentative essay is that the readers trust us with out opinions and and arguments. Thus, it makes us a way for them to understand an idea or subject.
As example, the argument that is in this picture is cows are in need for transportation and as a way to alleviate our hatred toward ourselves not to kill them. Other arguments that are realistic would be, cows are source for income by giving us milk stocks, and source of pure-grade beef. Without cows, there won't be beef, and no good burgers will be made and will all be missed.
