Implicit and explicit arguments are both capable of persuading the audience to its view. Both types of arguments have the same purpose, which is to convince the audience. The main difference between them that determine the type is how they use the sources and choose to approach the audience.
An explicit argument is direct and it uses reasons and evidences to make the argument strong. On the other hand, an implicit argument is rather indirect and it does not seem like an argument. An implicit argument often brings out strong emotions in order for people to understand its point of view so that they are easily convinced.
The picture and the poem on page 5-6 are both implicit arguments. The picture does not directly present its objective, however by allowing the audience to be sympathetic to see its point of view. The poem in the book has a theme and it delivers it to the audience in a passive manner. By using figurative language, it makes the audience relate to the problem easier.
