Task: Argue for or against Wanda Coleman's outlook on life, love, and creativity in urban Los Angeles
A Classical argument is the basic form of persuasive writing used in essays and position papers. It must contain the following five parts:
1) the introduction-used to grab the reader's attention
2) the narration--used to explain the origin and nature of the argument
3) the confirmation-used to support the argument and convince the audience
4) the refutation-used to counter the opposition's position
5) the conclusion--used to broaden the argument and speak to its consequences
The parts of a classic position paper are arranged logically. That is, one section logically follows from the one before it. It is styled in this way for ease of transition in thought, especially for the main purpose of effectively persuading the reader or audience. Please note that classic arguments avoid the use of the first person "I" unless they are employing relevant personal experience evidence.
Remember to consider the purpose and the target audience before drafting. These key decisions will initiate an authentic goal for the paper and help establish common ground with the target addressees. The central claim, main assertion, is also integral to its argument's success. Be sure that it is clear, specific and debatable. The body of the argument should be developed with persuasive evidence and detailed explanation. Also, provide a refutation which acknowledges the opposition's best point and effectively counters its position. Finally, the conclusion should broaden the scope of findings,enabling the audience to see the overall importance of the topic.
Focus: Perspective or Point-of-View
A poetic work, perhaps more than any other form of creativity, comes from a unique artist with a specific perspective on life. Each poem is therefore a lens into the different perspective that the writer is living through and in. When you read poems, you are being allowed to enter a very intimate space where the author speaks their language, delivers their truths, and unearths their angles on the world. As with people, we gravitate towards some writer's because we share their insights, and we reject others because we disagree with how they see things.
All papers should be at least FOUR full pages, t, and provide a Works Cited page with a minimum of two outside sources.
