Arguing

There is a clear difference between an implicit and an explicit argument. though an explicit argument seems like it would be the most effective- something such as a political debate, or even less obvious than that- a poem that states something controversial; that TELLS its opinion. However, an implicit argument is something that is less stated, more implied. Something such as a picture, or a poem that explains a life experience could be an implicit arguemnt. An implicit argument doesn't state; it implies- it strikes the viewer, gives them some sort of emotion, before they even realize that they're being "argued" with. A good photographer is generally very good at achieving this, because photographs are exempt at moving people. Often times, there are things that could fall on the line- such as a poem. Different people could percieve differently whether or not it is an implicit arguemnt or an explicit one; it all depeds on the way the reader percieves it.
