As well as composing a number of essays over the course of the semester, you have also been required to evaluate the arguments of both peers and professional writers. For this discussion board, read the point/counterpoint "Apple’s Corporate Responsibility for Distracted Driving" written by Katherine Mangu-Ward and Jason Mars. Choose the author whom you feel makes the more successful claim. Then, explain—using specific quotations and examples from the article—why you believe that this author has produced the better argument. In order to gauge the success of the opposing pieces, think back to the rhetorical triangle: Does the author appeal to logos through the use of facts, statistics, logic, etc? Are anecdotes, narrative examples, personal stories, etc. used to create pathos? Does the author invoke ethos by appealing to the reader’s sense of right and wrong? Also, does the author establish his/her credibility through knowledge, tone, etc? Is there anything else about the author’s writing that is particularly effectual in helping him/her to reinforce his/her thesis?
