PROJECT: WRITE AN ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY
Writers do not simply state a theme and expect readers to accept it. Instead, they use literary devices and the voices of their characters to illustrate the themes they are trying to convey to their audience. We can find evidence of this by examining the dialogue between characters and by identifying the various metaphors, similes, imagery, and other types of figurative language the author has used.
In this writing assignment, you will test your ability to identify and analyze examples of figurative language and argue their usefulness in illustrating theme. Before we begin, let’s learn how to write an argumentative essay.
Before You Begin
The purpose of an argumentative essay is to convince others to agree with our facts, share our values, accept our argument and conclusions, and/or adopt our way of thinking.
A successful argumentative essay should:
contain a clear, concise, and defined thesis statement that appears in the introduction
use language appropriate to the audience you are trying to convince
support your position with evidence: relevant facts, statistics, and reasons
answer possible objections to your position
show clear reasoning
conclude with a summary of your position or a call to action
An argumentative essay should contain an introductory paragraph, three to four body paragraphs (the number may vary depending on your topic and assignment), and a concluding paragraph.
