Arguments From Narration

April 22, 2010

These are quite easy to spot, actually. A clear example can be found here.

The telling feature is, as you might have guessed, a narration–but not just any kind of narration. The point here is that the narration involved is meant to support the main thesis / conclusion of the argument. It serves as a good reason to accept the conclusion.

Can you tell which thesis / conclusion is being argued here? Were there any other argument forms that you could spot in the article? Could there be an argument from analogy present here, as well?
