Prompt - 4 - runnin’ late

It’s in my opinion that the Rogerian Rhetoric style of writing is solid. No, it may not be exactly what Rogers himself would have expected the style to be like, but it works. The thing is that this is supposed to be a research paper according to the syllabus, but the Rogerian style is more suited to persuasion and argumentative papers. So, is this really a research paper or just a longer, more subtle approach to persuasion/argumentative writing styles? I understand that we have to do research for this, but it’s a bit misleading to say it’s a research paper… I don’t have any questions about this paper, but the previous one is a different story.

The profile paper was just plain confusing to me. I wrote about my subjects early life and some events along the way that helped him become who he is today and got him into a job that he loved. I thought that was more or less the gist of what we were supposed to do. ???

  1. Hi Chris!

    Rogerian rhetoric is an argumentative strategy, a way of thinking about persuasion. This paper requires research to understand the topic as a whole. It is possible to write a Rogerian-style paper without research, but a person would have to be pretty well-informed on the topic to pull it off.

    Also, if you’re confused about the profile, ask me, please! I can’t help if I don’t know that there is a problem.
