Quick Write 9/20

1. The difference between and argument and persuasion is that an argument is not always in attempt to convince someone of something. Sometimes arguments are just ways of expressing your point of view, and other times they are used to convince facts. With persuasion though, it is an argument that is meant to influence the people it is presented to.
2. A CV and resume can be considered arguments, because you are presenting something in a way that is meant to prove you are worthy. The reason you make CV's and resumes are so you can get jobs and make employers believe you can handle the tasks they want accomplished. Hopefully you will be able to get the point across and they will hire you, since your argument of your characteristics and achievements was so good.

  1. I like how you brought up the point that a CV and a resume can be considered arguments. You are just writing about yourself and trying to argue that you are the best person for the job.
