Argument写作训练：
The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a regional newspaper.
“In response to petitions from the many farmers and rural landowners throughout our region,
the legislature has spent valuable time and effort enacting severe laws to deter motorists from
picking fruit off the trees, trampling through the fields, and stealing samples of foliage. But how
can our local lawmakers occupy themselves with such petty vandalism when crime and violence
plague the nation’s cities? The fate of apples and leaves is simply too trivial to merit their attention.”
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to analyze
the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need
to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative
explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what
sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument
would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate
its conclusion.
