Compound Claims

From chapter 6 the most helpful information I learned was regarding how to decipher compound claims.  The information that stuck with me most was the way compound claims are formed and how we can use them in arguments.  I never realized it before, but the word "or" affects whatever you are saying in very drastic ways.  Or can take two claims and put them together into one while still holding both claims.  It is very easy to tell the difference between claims and arguments, as we only need to find an indicator word to tell us the difference.  One aspect that I found helpful was the fact that we cab use "neither A nor B to be a contradictory of A or B."  We must remember to view each claim in compound claims as its own, but to view the entire claim as one.  This means both claims must be true in order for the compound claim to be true.
