Chapter 3 and handout blog.. ya digg?

I have to say chapter 3 was a long chapter and i skimmed through the chapter to find the important facts that i dont already know. Such as reason versus rationalization of how reason isnt necessarily are only way to find the truth. The also show an example from Benjamin Franklin's autobiography. Also of hwo premises are stated assumptions used as reasons in an argument. Then to produce a conclusion called a syllogism. There were key concepts in this chapter that are important for writing. The handout explains of how some certain books maybe inappropriate for children to read for school reading. But one parent argues that if we expose our children to the real world they will be more prepared rather than shield them from reality. So i agree about the book situation that we should experience books that would tell us the truth and get us prepared. But on the other hand if we are forced to read something we dont like then we obviously will be lazy to read cause it doesnt grab our attention. We should be able to choose what we want to read then it being chosen for us. It would make a BIG difference.
