Style

1.  Does the title give the author's topic or the author's topic and stance? Explain.

2.  In what paragraph is the thesis located? Write it down.  Since it is a direct sentence from the essay does this make it an explicit or implicit thesis?

Evidence

3.  List, define and explain how the following are used to support the thesis: anecdote, antithesis and parallel structure (what I begin with I end with).

4.  Paragraph 5, 6, and 7 uses the persuasive technique of counter argument.  What counter argument is stated and how does the author refute the claim?  What style are these paragraphs written in—deductive or inductive? Explain your choice.

5.  List each support, in order, the author uses to prove the thesis.  What do we call this type of order?
