Response to WAW Intro & Green

1. We need to be able to read others work so that we can be able to discuss problems, conflicts, and questions that occur among the text. Reading plays an important role because we can voice our own opinions about the information we are reading in the text. Reading is key to understanding the research behind the text.
2. Writing is based on a continuation of arguments and without the arguments of others to know what they thought about your reading you will never know where to go from there and how to improve your reading for the future. Burke says this twice to reiterate the fact that you need to have continuing arguments over your reading, the more eyes you let see your writing the better it can be improved for the future.
3. Framing helps to think about what the argument will be and how to defend it to your audience.  The metaphor says that the authors want us to see the world through one view and not see it any other way they want you to believe what they believe and that there is no other way to see. Green says that framing encourages you to define and defend your agreement to others, in turn you organize your thoughts through framing and it helps you to create counterarguments to defend yourself and be able to engage in conversations with your critics. Framing allows a write to make the audience view something from only one perspective.
Applying & Exploring Ideas
2. Greens article represents a conversation because he covers all questions that you may ask about the reading. He is having a conversation with mainly college students and other people who may in counter his book. He frames his argument by being willing to take on any questions from people who are willing to challenge his writing and being willing to re write his book to better the writings for people whom will read it in the future. Green does practice what he preaches because he is willing to criticize others and in turn he likes to be criticized by others so that while he is helping to better other people he is also being bettered as a writer.
