DescriptionPLEASE READ CAREFULLY (directions clearly below)

Read Chapter Five, “Sabers and Goalposts: The Physical Program,” in Carved fromGranite. (in attached documents)

After reading and analyzing the chapter, write a two-page paper that assesses the persuasiveness of Betros’ argument.
Is his argument persuasive? Why or Why not? What is the nature and quality of the evidence he provides to support his argument?

b. In your introductory paragraph provide 2-3 sentences of context that frames the situation and grabs your readers’ attention, concisely identify Betros’ thesis, and then state your own original thesis that answers the question: Why is Betros’ argument persuasive or not persuasive?

c. In your body paragraphs develop your supporting arguments with specific evidence that supports your thesis. What has Betros done or failed to do to argue persuasively? What, in other words, are the strengths of his argument? What are the weakness of his argument? Be sure that your body paragraphs begin with topic sentences and present unique and powerful subordinate arguments supported by specific evidence and sound analysis.

d. In your analysis, you should express the authors’ ideas concisely in your own words by paraphrasing, or by using direct quotations if appropriate. Properly document both paraphrased and quoted material by using footnotes in the Chicago Manual of Style or parenthetical documentation in the Modern Language Association (MLA) format.
