“Revenge of the Geeks” is an argument, a type of nonfiction in which a writer states a claim, or position on a debatable issue, and then defends that claim with sound reasoning and evidence. Evidence includes facts, data, information, explanations, anecdotes, quotations, examples, and any other details that support the writer’s reasons or main claim. When reading an argument, it is important to evaluate both the writer’s reasoning and the quality of the evidence he or she uses to support it.
