Leher's Dialogue

        Leher uses dialogue to give direct references to support his argument and from just the quotes, you can gather much of what Leher is trying to say. He can convey his argument more throughly and with more fluidity by giving quotes and having conversations rather than just telling us what people say. This allows us to fully see what his major points are and to clarify the argument he is trying to make. The dialogue also gives us a clear idea of the personality of the characters instead of getting a paraphrased idea from Leher, the quotes tell us what exactly is going on with the characters.

  1. You have to go into the text more. Pull out the moments when dialogue occurs. Then read it as a piece. Reflect on its communicative capability. Why is Lehrer so reliant on dialogue? What does it add to his argument? Can you -- do you -- employ dialogue in your essays? What sort?
