No Ark Noah

Unfortunately the link to the slate site was down but I will answer the related questions as best to my ability.

1. I believe the links Noah had provided are used to further support his argument and provide evidence. They add more information and therefore increases understanding. I might consider using links in an argument on the web mostly because it would give the reader the chance to do their own research on the subject.

2. I believe Noah’s use of quoting from the original works help him argue his case persuasively. It reveals to the reader that he understands what his subject is and he knows what it is he’s arguing.
