Review # 1 was written on 2011-10-04 00:00:00 Smg Boss The Imaginative Argument - A Practical Manifesto For Writers by Frank L. Cioffi is an innovative book that shows writers how to explore a wide array of subjects in a truly creative way. Cioffi infuses the book with abundant practical, thoughtful, yet incisive examples that teach individuals the many possibilities available in argumentation, while still leaving the reader the versatility to focus and employ their own creative style in their writing repertoire. Sourcing authors such as Orwell, Goffman, Benedict, Updike, James, Nabovok and others, the author helps the reader analyze them and view their notable writing idiosyncrasies for the strengths they were, while also showing the vast range these writers employed each in their own unique way. The Imaginative Argument is an outside of the box book that it is better thought of as belonging in its own writing domain, for it doesn't operate within any proverbial box, as it teaches argumentation in a robust and yet meaningful way that doesn't shackle itself to any preconceived notions but uses imagination as the gateway from which it operates. In other words, what Cioffi offers in this book is a mixture of equal parts mad scientist and academician who employ mathematical precision merged with the range of a boundless artist that utilizes the universe as its canvas for writing. The Imaginative Argument is a true perfect fusion of the left and right brain to boot, which is the best part of this book. Writing argumentative papers or articles on serious subjects can really make for a dull read. But this book helps add additional depth and intrigue by its inherent strength in showing many of the ways that subjects can be explored in a non-traditional way that really leaves the reader thinking in ways they wouldn't have done so if a subject was written about in a more traditional way as writing is often taught. Covered also within the confines of this book are all of the major parts of constructing an essay: a solid foundational introduction, a consideration of the audience which is focused on quite a bit throughout the book, a foray into the writing process, a focus on the thesis, arguments, style, and much more. The end of the book even provides additional sample essays and writing prompts which serve to further an individual's self-directed learning process. In its totality, this book offers a lot of ideas for consideration for all writers. Cioffi's refreshing and fearless approach serves to engage the reader quite saliently, also providing a veritable mixture of do's and don'ts that are not only practical but useful. Cioffi created an absolute masterpiece in the field of creative argumentation, and for that he should be applauded at length. ____________________________________________ About The Author: Zy Marquiez is author of Amor Vincit Omnia - Love Conquers All, and also an avid book reviewer, inquirer, an open-minded skeptic, health freedom advocate, and writer who aims at empowering individuals in many ways, while also delving deeper and regularly mirroring subjects like Consciousness, Education, Creativity, Individuality, Ancient History & Ancient Civilizations, Forbidden Archaeology, Big Pharma, Alternative Health, Space, Geoengineering, Social Engineering, Propaganda, and much more. ____________________________________________ Add Me On Facebook: Follow The Page On Facebook: Blog: ____________________________________________ Suggested Reading: Socratic Logic V3.1 by Peter Kreeft Ph.D. How To Read A Book by Mortimer J.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-17 00:00:00 William Hocker This is the book I wish I'd read before I started that dissertation. It's not fun reading. Reading about writing seldom is, but supportive help about forming arguments in academic writing is well worth the effort.
