Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Resemblance Arguments are arguments that take a stance or give better merits to a point by making comparisons to other points. It is suppose to bring to light that your argument is just as important as the comparison argument. This does come at a risk resemblance arguments sometimes the difference  in the points are so obscure the argument may get lost when scrutinized. Similar to all argument types, resemblance arguments can be analyzed using the Toulmin terms (Ramage 265).

                Analogy is another imaginative form of argument. It can bring vivid images into the reader's or listener mind. This is especially effective for common known images, for example: "my father rides me like a Marine Core drill instructor" or " My mother drives like Dale Earnhardt Sr." Both of these example leave very distinctive images in your mind and get a real feel for what the writer or speaker is trying to convey (Ramage 267).
