Chapter 12 in Everything's an Argument has good examples of different styles used by writers to reach their intended audience. I don't remember learning the term "tropes" before, but I am familiar with metaphor, simile, and analogy in writing. I also like the authors' description of hyperbole as "pyrotechnics in prose" (384).
Chapter 15 in Bedford should be especially helpful as I begin revising my WP3. The "Revision" tab in Google documents lets you restore versions of the document as it existed before changes, which allows you to "save multiple drafts" (200). The "Strategies for Challenging Your Argument, Ideas, and Evidence" (201) will help me draft the versions required for HW2 and HW3. It seems like too much work for just a couple of homework points, but I know it will improve my final WP3 that I submit.
Finally, Chapter 16 went into great detail about different design possibilities for writing. I am anxious to play around in Google documents to see what can be done. I really dislike the way it fills the page with text in standard format.
