Write an argumentative essay that analyzes three (3) separate images in Chapter 14 of Everything’s an Argument by Lunsford Ruszkiewicz and explores how they are connected in design via argumentative imagery. I will upload the chapter14 sources(1-12.pdf), then you need to identify and define a common thread connecting the three (3) images you choose from Chapter 14 and argue why it’s an effective technique for visual argument.
Do not use other outside sources.
I will upload 3example essays( ep1-ep5.pdf, example1.doc, example2. doc) for you to finish this essay, please read them and follow their format and use them as guideline to finish this essay. However, do not plagiarize them.
Steps:
1. Choose your three (3) images carefully. Don’t settle on the first idea(s) that comes to mind. You want an argument full enough to explore, not one you will quickly rush through and leave incomplete.
2. Make sure you have the right tone and structure for your objective. Remember your thoughts as a reader; apply that to your writing.
3. DO NOT SUMMARIZE THE “MEANING” OF THE IMAGES. Explain and analyze why all the images are connected in design and effectiveness instead while only using their meaning as support.
4. Use this book to explore visual argument and persuasive design to apply that learning to your essay.
Tips:
1. Remember to anticipate questions a reader might have about the images and design. Find the right level of detail and information to answer those questions.
2. Proofread! Spell-check! Grammar check!
3. Remember to write in THIRD person as much as possible, as first-person style lowers the tone and makes the paper too conversational. No “I” statements!
4. Make sure you provide sufficient details for audience expectations with this analysis. Do not leave details out! Analysis is all about details and explanations.
5. Please do it well in the information, organization, clarity, expression and how well the assignment meets the ” Six Elements requirements”
**Six Elements requirements
Intro w/ thesis (1)
Thesis needs to say something; don’t say “what” – make sure you explain “why” as well.
Thesis to directly answer the prompt/question being asked.
Formulaic thesis repeats the prompt/question right back into the thesis.Massage the formula to be creative and lend your own voice.
Thesis is NEVER a question; it is a STATEMENT.
Thesis can be more than one sentence; all depends on situation and assignment.
Thesis is backbone of your paper, the anchor of what you’re saying. Think of your body with no spine; that is an argument with no thesis.
Without a thesis, the paper will float adrift and be lost upon the audience. Give them the pathway to chart your argument clearly!
Thesis must come early and be direct/clear – preferably end of first section/paragraph.
Conclusion (2)
The conclusion restates thesis and expands upon it.
After spending the essay supporting thesis, you now can go farther.
It does not repeat the thesis verbatim.
Challenge your audience. If you use rhetorical questions, answer them yourself – don’t leave questions for your audience to guess at the answer, even if it seems obvious to you.
Conclusion should ALWAYS be more fully developed (i.e. longer!) than introduction. Always.
The conclusion is your last chance to make your point; don’t waste it. Think of an attorney who makes a closing argument; do they want to waste that last chance to persuade the jury? Think of the audience as a jury you have to convince of an idea.
Topic Statements (3)
Topic statements (TS) introduce each point of support in a way that relates directly BACK to thesis.
Topic statements are argumentative introductions; they must be argumentative rather than summation.
Topic statements are NEVER questions.
Topic statements are NEVER quotes.
Topic statements are NEVER summary statements.
Topic statements are mini-thesis statements for each idea in your support structure.
Specific Support (4)
The emphasis is on specific: quotes, facts, something tangible and real.
Any time you are writing about something you read, you MUST use quotes from the reading to support your ideas.
Do not rely on generic statements or generalized stereotypes.
Avoid personal examples unless specifically asked for in the prompt/question.
Make sure your support is DIRECTLY relevant to the thesis/argument you’re promoting.
Remember to order your support logically – do NOT randomly throw your support in any random order.
Always finish with your best support last; build momentum throughout your paper.
Development of Specific Support (5)
Explain CLEARLY why your specific support is relevant to your argument/thesis.
Don’t leave your audience to guess why your support is there.
Audiences will not always think the same way you do, so explain it to them clearly.
You must connect the dots and spell it out for them, even if it is obvious to you.
Development is where your length comes from — short papers lack this element.
Contextualize your support in relation to your thesis for your audience.
Critical Thinking (6)
Critical thinking (CT) generally means “discussing X in terms of Y”.
Often, it is a metaphor, like the jury statements above, or the metaphors for the thesis.
You take the basic idea and add context to it in a way that expands the concept beyond expectation.
Relate your argument to something seemingly off-topic or abstract, i.e. the use of a metaphor.
The ability to logically connect two seemingly disparate ideas for argument is critical thinking.
CT can occur anywhere in your essay; conclusion is the easiest place to put it, so don’t settle for that.
