While reader chapter one, I found it to be very interesting that the book explained meditation or prayer as an argument. The book explained that the individual praying was trying to transform something in him or herself, or in the case of meditation, meet equallibrium or peace of mind. The book also explains how the stained glass in church is also a way to argue to power of the lord. The dazzle aspect of the window sends a deeper argument than if it were written on paper or in a poem style.
I would have to disagree with the book's idea that in order for an argument to occure, and audience is needed. The book explains that in order for an argument to be effective, it ust be compelling to others. I disagree with this becuase I believe that an argument is still considered effective and useful even if the audience does not agree with it. Also, in some ways I think that an individual can make an argument or statement even if there is no audience present.
