What is the argument’s purpose in
your article? (Is it an argument: to inform, to convince, to persuade, to
explore, to make decisions? It can be more than one of these.) What does it
hope to achieve?
The arguments purpose is to inform, convince and explore the composition of tendons in the body. It hopes to achieve a better understanding of how and why tendons are formed with the fibers of collagen. It hopes to explain their function and tendency to reinforce movement and stay as strong as they do.
What assumptions does the author make? Every argument contains an assumption that is crucial to its validity. The assumption, sometimes stated sometimes left unstated, lies between the claim and support, connecting the two with logic. For example, a claim the authors of They Say/I Say make is that “The authors you summarize at the college level seldom simply ‘say’ or ‘discuss’ things; they ‘urge,’ ‘emphasize,’ and ‘complain about’ them.” They then go on to give the following illustration: [claim] … The Declaration of Independence doesn’t just talk about the treatment of the colonies by the British; it protests against it” [support] (38). What then is the assumption? That the colonists had had it with British rule, they were done talking about the issue, and were readying to revolt. Saying that the colonists wrote the Declaration of Independence to tell England how they felt doesn’t accurately express what the colonists intended.
In health sciences, there are not necessarily assumptions. There are hypothesis, which are a type of prediction to be tested. The hypothesis is that if a tendon can stretch and retain more movement, then it’s composition differs in a sense of collagen
What types of evidence are used? Highlight/underline different forms of evidence used. (Types of evidence: Firsthand evidence and research includes observations, interviews, surveys and questionnaires, experiments, and personal experience; secondhand evidence includes library sources, films, photographs – anything beyond yourself.)
Evidence used in this article is mainly observations, and experiments. Health sciences one of the only fields where interviews do not matter much to the articles and research. Most information gathered in the field of medical sciences is hands-on evidence and experiments. In this case an observation would not work because the tendons are inside of the body.
