Both Greene's and Kleine’s articles discuss strategies in writing well-written research essays. Greene points out in his article that he prefers what he calls the conversational inquiry approach based on argumentation analysis and design. Kleine takes a different approach, which he describes as being a heuristic hypothesis relying on hunting and gathering research.
Greene suggests that we should engulf ourselves in conversation in order to formulate effective writing and arguments. The key is to find relevant issues up for debate and fully understanding the facts surrounding these issues. According to Greene knowledge is built on other knowledge, so the proper research must be completed to comprehend the issue and its context. By knowing the evidence for both your argument and opposing arguments, writers are better able to construct a more concise and persuasive reasoning.
Kleine sets out to discover the logic mainly students have when writing research papers after his experience of observing a group merely copying information from textbooks and encyclopedias in a library. Kleine differentiates between two ways of collecting information inspired by primitive survival techniques: hunting and gathering. A hunter knows exactly what he/she is looking for and will focus narrowly on finding that information. A gatherer takes a broader approach and sifts through a large amount of data to uncover whatever he/she can find.
Greene seems to be addressing college students in his article, while Kleine’s article appears to be tailored to professors and educators. The latter part of Kleine’s article title “How can we get students to join us?” provides evidence that it is intended for teachers. Greene’s article could be for both students and instructors; it provides more of a general overview of arguments to the readers.
