#22 Nonsense Vs Argument

Comparing Nonsense and Argument book, I think I favored the Nonsense book better. First of all, Nonsense book is easier to make notes. Unlike the argument book, nonsense book is organized with set agenda. First, it will cover the name of the specific rhetoric terms. Then it will give examples to support it. In the argument book, it first approaches rhetoric term with example. This may be entertaining that the argument book looks more like a book instead of a dictionary or an encyclopedia. However, it may be extremely difficult to follow if one wants to use the book to find terms. Also, Nonsense book provide more detail than argument book. In the nonsense book, it can provide specific details that support the term exactly as it is defined. However, in the argument book, the author may provide an example that may support multiple terms at the same time. This may be extremely confusing for first time learner. Also, I hated how the argument book has many side notes with details that I often find extremely irreverent. They may sidetracks and distract the reader. I like books that are straightforward to follow. For me, Argument book may contain may too many references to American culture that I may not be so familiar with. This may ruin the potential fun of the book that for the most part I couldn’t understand the jokes the author is trying to imply.
