Watch the above video first sweetheart!
When first viewing this video a person may not see any arguments just a sweet-treat fluff story to fill time on a sports station. However, if one was to search for an argument, especially an ‘evaluation argument’, suddenly SURPRISE! There are abundant arguments hidden in this video. For example, there is a quote saying “His Sooner taste for sweets helped shape his vision” (1:16) The audience of the video assumes that this is a valid statement with out knowing much about the Sooners or cupcakes. However the broadcaster decided (evaluated) to include this quote in order to make a connection with the audience. The story again mentions Oklahoma when he says, “Oklahoma definitely has a culture of eating.” (1:32) Including this argument really has nothing to do with why his business is successful especially because it is located in Hollywood and not Oklahoma. In the text, Everything’s an Argument, it mentions that arguments of evaluation are ‘…written to clarify or support other decisions in our lives.” In this video the broadcaster is being sure to clarify the reasons this story relates to the football game. The last clear reference was at 2:17 when the broadcaster mentions the Sooner and Longhorn cupcake fundraiser.
