They Say I Say Chapter 6&7

For this blog I chose to do it on chapters six and seven of They Say, I Say. I felt that this reading had quit a few important key things to include into ones paper. One specifically was in chapter six where the book talks about anticipating a skeptic or an objection. I couldn’t believe that the book is urging people to point out all of the negative things that someone can say against us to the readers. I found that quite interesting? Why on earth would someone do that? Well as I read further into the chapter, pointing out the negatives can actually enhance your credibility plus it gives you the chance to point them out before someone else does. It will also show respect to readers and show them that they are smart intelligent people who are capable of critical thinking. I never thought about how pointing out negatives in your own paper can actually benefit you. Chapter six gave many great templates for doing this which is why I thought chapter six was very interesting to me.
