This study examined the production of literary argumentative writing in relation to the high school students’ reading consciousness during the reading of the text. The results of the study revealed the following. (1) The production of literary argumentative writing, especially in the first grade, is supported by the basic, strategic reading consciousness of the “perspective of understanding the story” and the “perspective of paying attention to the expression”. (2) The “subjective perspective on the story” has a negative influence on the production of literary argumentative writing in the first and the second grades. (3) However, the “subjective perspective on the story” may have a positive effect on the production of literary argumentative writing when the “perspective of understanding the story” and the “perspective of paying attention to the expression” are firmly established in the students’ mind. (4) The quality of second grade students’ literary argumentative writing is enhanced by their consciousness of advanced strategic reading and argumentation, in addition to their basic consciousness.
