Tannen vs Graff

Tannen and Graff went over the similar points, but different view on them. Tannen's essay states that there are more then two sides to an argument. This made me think more into this thought. I agree completely. An argument does not consist of one person being right and the other wrong. One must think openly to others thoughts and pick their words carefully. Word choice is important because you may say a phase and the other person takes it as something completely different, which could make a whole other argument. This essay was wrote with many examples, and familiar metaphors to help the reader understand. I felt that Graff's essay referred to Tannen's essays most of the time. During this Graff would disagree with Tannen. I did not enjoy this type of writing because it came off more of Graff bashing Tannen. I felt that Graff came off as a bad writer because the most of the essay is a twist off of Tannan's essay. I enjoy Tannen's writing over Graff
