Alice Munro's women in The Moons of Jupiter and The Lives of Girls and Women use narrative to seek relief from or understanding of their object position within the microcosmic political system of family and friends. Few succeed. Those who manage to recreate experiences through language (Munro's version of truth) do so through a new configuration of narrative which combines voices and points of view but has no dominant perspective: a communal narrative.

This broad definition should encourage students to see how argument is related to other modes of writing. It should help instructors convince students that the how is just as important as the what in successful arguments. HOLD CONFERENCES TO REVIEW STUDENT FOLDERS One of the best ways for both you and your students to keep track of improvement and any continuing problems is to require students to keep folders containing their written work during the course. You can review these folders during conferences with students, which you should hold as regularly as your ix Chapter 9: Arguing Recommendations (simultaneous focus on conclusions and organization) Chapter 12: Revision (previously mentioned, revision needs to be introduced early in the course) You might also want to modify the chapter sequence if you are using Everyday Arguments as the primary text in an upper-level writing course. The material on audience, claims, definitions, introductions, and conclusions could be for review purposes only, not actually covered in class. Even with advanced writers, you should include the section on Motives for Writing (Chapter 2) and all of Chapter 10 (Writing and Image), as the material discussed here will probably not be as familiar. In an upper-level writing course, you might assign chapters in the following sequence:
