Writing simplified… this book serves to help make writing
simple. Which it does in sections 50 and 51, pertaining to argumentative essays
and writing them successfully. I’ve written many argument papers in my days at
school, this is my second time taking English 101, the last time I took it I
had just graduated high school, was 18 and could care less about writing. This
time I’m taking it more seriously and therefore have a better understanding on
how to be a successful writer.
You have to have an argument when you are writing an
argumentative essay. However, you don’t have to be forceful when it comes to
getting your point across. It begins with a thesis statement, your opinion, and
then you move on from there supporting your argument with examples.
In my essays I take everything that I’ve accumulated
throughout the whole essay and at the very end I have a “blanket” paragraph,
where I once again cover all the topics discussed earlier in the essay and identify
what my thesis statement is. It’s also important to me to issue a challenge at
the very end. Something that you ask your writers to do, to me, that is what
makes an argument essay great.
I really like that you put the challange part in there. its almost like you are tempting your readers to prove you wrong, which of course is exactly what an argument is, a two way battle of opinion.
