they say, i say prefix and intro

In the beginning of the book “They say. I say”, you go through a crash course of what the book is about and how it teaches you how to write better and be more professional in your academic career. The prefix is all about how they get the student how struggles with writing to “enter a conversation about their ideas” and how they need to do that when they write. It also states how conventional writing hinders them in the future and why the collective authors wrote this book and why they use templates. The book uses templates in order to teach that critical thinking is stifeled by rhetorical moves and how to compromise them.
The introduction is talking about when people master writing they don’t really need to think about all the complex moves they usually thought about when they were struggling with there writing in the beginning. The introduction goes on to tell you how they will eventually teach you how to state your own ideas in a way too respond to others. But when you do this you have to make your statement in such a way that makes sense and is not boring so people won’t ask, “Why the hell are you talking?”
Then the book goes on to talk about how Martian Luther King Jr’s letter to Brimingham. How he summarized and responded to the critics claims about the civil rights. How he wrote that was almost entirely summery and response.
The main goal of the book is to help the reader become a better writer, but at a deeper level it invites you to become a certain type of person that thinks critically and intellectually who participates in the debates instead of passively sitting on the sidelines.
i think that this book supports the "English Compsition" artical is the way that the book istrying to make the reader think in an non "normal ecduactional" way.
