Chapter 13 Rhetorical précis

            In Chapter 13 of the book Good Reasons the authors Lester Faigley and Jack Selzer define the concept of Proposal Arguments.  The authors give definition to this type of paper through a flow chart diagram as well as an outline.  In illustrating the process of how a writer should pursue a proposal argument, the authors state how to define a problem and its solution in order to draft an effective argument making a case for action to the problem of interest.  The concept is seen to benefit research writers in finding and proposing solutions to problems that are of the public interest.
