Rhetorical Precis on Good Reasons Chapter 13

In Chapter 13 of  Good Reasons  by Lester Faigley and Jack Selzer, "Proposal Arguments", the authors describe the constituent elements, functionality, and writing process behind proposal arguments, and provide examples of proposal arguments written by professionals and students.  They initially describe what a proposal argument is, discussing how they work and how their theses differ from normal argumentative papers--then they give a step-by-step writing process for proposal arguments, topping it off with a professional proposal argument and then a student example.  Faigley and Selzer intend to describe the purpose, procedure, and layout associated with both writing and reading proposal arguments when taking rhetoric-based classes.  Their intended audience is students in English classes that require them to write a proposal argument as part of the curriculum.
