Rhetorical Précis for Introduction in Choices

In the introduction to the book Choices, the author argues that even though it may seem that people have talent in a certain area, doesn't mean that they don't try very hard, especially in writing. The author supports this because throughout the chapter he talked about how many writers are constantly working very hard at their writing and always have others read the publication before releasing the final product. The author's purpose is to convince students that writing is a skill that everyone can learn and to not be discouraged when you don't succeed at it right away, and to keep trying and trying until you feel comfortable. This introduction is written for students so that they will no longer feel discouraged when they write and then they will keep trying to become better.
