They Say, I Say...

I believe a key concept to take away from the book would be chapter six in general which describes how people may come with counter arguments for the points I may highlight. I believe this could go toward improving my essay in that it encourages me to "hit harder" or develop my points to where they just cant be counter argued without a great amount of evidence. Of course there will always be someone who may disagree with what I say, but revising my essay around counter arguments could make it so fewer people care to contradict my argument. All in all, what I've taken away from the book is just to make my points clear, concise, and support them to the point where counter arguments will be discouraged by the depth I put into my argument.
