Everything's an Argument

Published by Bedford/St. Martin's, Everything's an Argument, 9th Edition, by Andrea A. Lunsford and John J. Ruszkiewicz, is a composition textbook designed to help students analyze and craft persuasive arguments. The work establishes how persuasive messaging functions across written and visual communication.

The material develops core competencies in critical reading and rhetorical listening. Readers explore structured approaches to dissecting complex texts, identifying underlying logic, and developing grounded research skills.

Through systematic composition instruction, the text supports composition students in moving from careful textual analysis to building clear, well-supported arguments of their own.
