Rhetorical Precis 8/24/12


In the informative book  “Choices 2.0: Situations for College Writing” (2010), Joe Marshall Hardin claims that hard work and dedication are the key to successful writing.  Hardin supports his statement by comparing athleticism and writing and how the two have the same requirements to achieve success.  The purpose of this statement was to infer that anyone could be a good writer if one dedicates the time to plan and revise his writing in order to achieve a solid writing foundation.  Hardin presents his message as a comedic tone, which keeps the reader entertain and focus on the message at hand.

In the book “Choices 2.0: Situations for College Writing,” Joe Marshall Hardin asserts that making choices about the process of writing provides a pathway to a solid establishment.  Hardin develops this formula by going in depth of each step: prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing.  The purpose of his formula was to provide critical thinking in order to develop organization throughout the person’s writing.  The author provides modern examples to relate to a younger audience that struggles with the format of college writing.
