Excerpt from Good Writing: A Modern Rhetoric
In the treatment of the forms of discourse, we have thrown the greater emphasis on Exposition and Argument. It seems probable that the average student who may use this book has already had more practice in Narration and Description than in the other two forms; and, moreover, he is likely to have comparatively little use for them in after life except as adjuncts to Exposition and Argument. In his actual contact with other people he is called upon more frequently, perhaps, to explain or convince than to tell a story or to paint a word picture for its own sake.
