Reasoning/proof- writer's reasoning for argument and/or factual evidence

Artistic Proofs: writer's own reasoning & common use Deductive Reasoning- general to specific Inductive Reasoning- specific to general

Inartistic Proofs: Hard evidence (facts, witnesses, data) Testimonies/narratives can be good choices

Syllogism: vehicles of deductive reasoning. -Major premise -Minor premise -Draw conclusion. Conclusion must follow logically to be valid

Ex: All human being are mortal. Ms.G is a human being. Therefore Ms.G is mortal

Enthymeme: vehicle of deductive reasoning. -similar to syllogism but not as explicit. -Usually s sentence with claim & reason but depends on audience inferring implicit assumption. Ex: We'd better cancel the picnic (it might be raining)

Different people pick up on different claims & meaning
