- According to Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein, writers should use the model of “entering the conversation” in their writing. The advantages of this model are that; in this way the writers could express better their argument given their audience two points of view. Giving them the evidence of how their arguments are right. Also instead of simply being in an opposing or agreeing position, they can establish their point of view in the middle. Communicating to their audience that the two topics have curious and diverse points. Which would generate much more interest in the writing.
- I agree with smarthistory’s video, that looking at artwork helps you to analyze other situations. Because I think that if you already have in mind how to solve, or communicate how and why the artwork was made in such a way. You also already have an example in mind of how you might solve a situation or problem you are involved in.

Wendy, good points here. I like your point that thinking about the context of a given topic helps the writer formulate an opinion.
