In a persuasive or argument essay, a writer takes a position for or against an issue and writes to convince the reader to believe something. It uses logic and reason to show that one idea is more legitimate than another idea. It attempts to persuade the reader to adopt a certain point of view. The argument must use sound rationale and concrete evidence by stating facts, giving logical explanations, using examples, and quoting experts. The writer must take a clear stand and stick with it, but also know and understand the opposing viewpoints (with counter arguments based on solid reasoning and evidence). The central argument will be explained the in thesis statement and is compelling and tough to refute (backed not only by the writer's passionate opinion, but also by strong, convincing, detailed support). The reader may or may not agree with the writer, but should feel that he or she has been thoroughly and clearly educated about the topic and issues. Your essay must persuade the reader (me), so you will have to pick ONE side of an argument. For instance, if you choose to argue that school uniforms should be a requirement for all high school students, your research should only support school uniforms in school. You will NOT say, "School uniforms can be both good and bad.” Pick one side and stick to it! Your paper should be balanced, reviewing both sides of the question and considering the arguments and evidence raised by supporters of both sides. Evaluate the arguments and evidence; then, form you own conclusions and defend them with logical arguments and evidence. To begin planning a persuasive essay you must Chose your position (Which side of the issue are you going to write about, and what solution will you offer? You must understand the purpose of your essay.) Research your topic. A persuasive essay must provide specific and convincing evidence. You must go beyond your own knowledge and experience. This means conducting research; we will be going to the library together to get started. Structure your essay. Figure out what evidence you will include and in what order you will present the evidence. Keep in mind your position, audience and topic. . (our last unit of NEW MATERIAL acts on page 81 Kennedy."

This is an argument, but not a thesis: "The movie 'JFK inaccurately portrays President This is a thesis: "The movie JFK inaccurately portrays President Kennedy because of the way it ignores Kennedy's youth, his relationship with his father, and the findings of the can be a few sentences long, but should not be longer than a paragraph. Do not begin to state A thesis makes a specific statement to the reader about what you will be trying to argue. Your thesis evidence or use examples in your thesis paragraph. Your thesis must be focused and specific The thesis serves another useful purpose: the writer can check the body of the paper against it, since it promises the reader what will follow. If the body contains other information, such as other major reasons for the difference sited, then the thesis may need to be revised to include it. Your thesis must Provide the reader with a map to guide him/her through your work. Anticipate and refute the counter-arguments Avoid vague language (like "it seems"). Avoid the first person. ("I believe," "In my opinion") It should pass the So what? or Who cares? test (Would your most honest friend ask why he should care or respond with "but everyone knows that"?) For instance, "people should avoid driving under the influence of alcohol," would be unlikely to evoke any opposition. . . . The Body You must provide evidence to support your opinion offered in your thesis statement in the introduction. The body should consist of at least three paragraphs. Each paragraph must be based on a solid reason to back your thesis statement. Since the issues chosen have good arguments on both sides of the question, you must try to anticipate opposing viewpoints and provide counter- arguments along with the main points in the essay. This should be done in one of the three paragraphs. The Conclusion In much the same way that the introduction lays out the thesis for the reader, the conclusion of the paper should reiterate the main points-it should never introduce new ideas or things not discussed in the body of the paper. The force with which you express the theme here is critical, because if you're ever going to convince the reader that your thesis has value, it will be in the conclusion. In other words, just as lawyers win their cases in the closing argument, this is the point where you'll persuade others to accept your thesis. "If the theme is clear and makes sense, the conclusion ought to be very easy to write. Simply begin by restating the theme, then review the facts you cited in the body of the paper in support of your ideas and it's advisable to rehearse them in some detail- and end with a final reiteration of the theme. Try, however, not to repeat the exact language you used elsewhere in the paper, especially the introduction, or it will look like you haven't explored all aspects of the situation."

Should the Drinking Age be raised?
Introduction
Alcohol is one of the drugs of choice among Americans of all ages. Currently, the legal
drinking age is 21 years. However, there are reports that underage drinking is on the rise, while
most of these underage victims disguise themselves as adults who have already attained the age
of 21 years to avoid facing the law. What remains a key concern to the United States is binge
drinking among adolescents, which is a major cause of death in the country. Therefore, there is a
debate on whether the drinking age should be raised. Even though opponents argue that the
drinking age should be maintained at 21 years, this paper takes the stance that the drinking age
should be raised to cure the rampant underage drinking and binge drinking among the adult.
The argument why the Drinking age should be raised
There is a need to raise the age of drinking because young people do not mature at 21
years. Rather, most of these young people tend to be fully mature at the age of 25. Perhaps this is
the right age when young people can make independent and informed consent on whether to
engage in drinking or not they tend to be more rational in the decision they make because they
can easily resist peer pressure and negative influence that could wrongly push them to indulge in
drinking (“Alcohol”). Therefore, the drinking age should be raised to an age when young adults
can become mentally responsible to drink and take care of themselves.
