Summary of Bad Arguments

In this week's reading, i find that the summary of bad arguments to be use and not useful at the same time. It is useful in that they are great exercises for people who are practicing how to pinpoint what statement is which and to tell what the premises and claims are. I also found that most of the arguments are not useful because they do not support enough evidence to make it arguable. For example, the one about the person being late for school, there is not really a argument because the person does not have an excuse to be late. If the person woke up earlier and left the house earlier, not only will he or she be at school on time but they can also grab breakfast so they do not starve throughout the day. But overall, i believe that it is a great exercise for people who are starting to learn how to point out statements.
