Observations About "Thank You for Smoking"

We only got to see the first half of this movie in class but I was still able to see many things in the movie that relate to argumentative writing. The movie is all about a man whose job is to try to convince people to smoke. This may sound ridicules but the way he argues and bargains actually sways people to his side. I was able to see augmentative speeches and writing first hand. It was interesting to see how the character could change people opinions of a subject that can be quite sticky. I just hope that when it comes to my argumentative paper I can be as convincing as the character in the movie.
