In this blog, my classmate wrote about why We Should Not Build A Wall Between The United States and Mexico. First, she strongly provides her opinion on the topic which was a perfect way to begin her argument and an even better way to let her audience know how she feels on the subject. My classmate also does an amazing job of using the pathos appeal in her introduction by providing the effects this will have on numerous people to back up her argument.
In the first body paragraph she gives factual statistics regarding the economic effects this would have on our country, providing things such as costs and other governmental examples to persuade her audience to believe her side of the argument.
In the second body paragraph, she talks about the people who will be drastically affected by this, including all U.S. citizens. This is a great tactic to use in an argument because it allows the reader to put these effects into perspective and will also give them a better understanding of the issue in general. In the concluding paragraph she re-states her thesis and backs up her claim by summing up all of her main points.
Overall, I think this was a very sufficient, strong, and informative argument brought on by one of my classmates and I completely agree with her opinion. She did a great job of answering the question, giving background information, and providing statistics to support her argument. I did not find anything to fix or critique, but was able to observe how a strong persuasive argument should be structured.
