Explicit and Implicit arguments

Explicit and implicit arguments are both ways of writing that prove a point in some way, but they are very different.  An explicit argument uses proven information and fact to prove a point that is fully supported by evidence.  This means that the point of the argument most likely is a proven fact that can not be wrong.  On the other hand, an implicit argument is told in the form of essays, short stories, poems, or a form of artistic representation.  These are usually without proven facts opinions, but the author creates his argument in a way that people connect.  After reading at an implicit writing response the viewer is then understands the point of the argument without the need of evidence.  For example, The poem Dulce et decorm est is implicit. It portrays a story of a solider in the heavy light that it is heroic to die for ones country.  The way he wrote it made one feel that the man dying was a hero because of the circumstance he was in.  Its such a bitter and horrible death that it is very hard to disagree that this man was not a hero.  the author in this poem proved the point by his writing of a story, which was most likely fictional, but we still agree with the argument he was making.
