Jim W. Corder wrote this lecture called argument as emergence, rhetoric as love to explain his perspective on how writers express themselves when writing; he explained the way the majority of authors write, and this was commonly by narrating, storytelling, talking about themselves, their lives, and things they know, he said how writers often feel like they are missing something or that it doesn’t make sense. He argues how our narratives often describe our past, learned lessons, or previous experiences, He says something important about language, "Language comes out of us a word at a time; we cannot get all said at once (18)." In my opinion he said was that you think one step at a time while you write what you think, this is could be a good way to write, or bad because you could write your thoughts down and they don’t turn out to be what you really were thinking and not what you thought you wrote. Jim Corder "Argument is not something to present or to display. It is something to be (26)." Corder then explains what an argument requires, "Requires a readiness to testify to an identity that is always emerging (26)..." by this he meant that your experiences, memories, or the way you were raised makes an argument to what you believe and what you defend. He then concludes this lecture by describing how rhetoric is love, and describing it as a world that withholds our diversities, and perspectives as writers.
