Draft an essay in which you explain how Dana Gioia builds an argument to persuade his audience that the decline of reading in
America will have a negative effect on society. In your essay, analyze how Gioia uses evidence to support claims and reasoning
to develop ideas and to connect claims and evidence to strengthen the persuasiveness of his argument.
Your essay should not explain whether you agree with Gioia's claims, but rather explain how Gioia builds an argument to
persuade his audience.
