I like the use of textual examples. I am not sure exactly what your thesis is though. I kind of get the vibe that you are stating that it is all a scam based off the three examples you give. Would that be correct? I like that you used some of the argument structures that not a lot of other people are using. This gives you an advantage! I think if you make what you are arguing more clear, you will be on the right track.
ReplyDeleteI think you could go in the route that not many things are legit and all good, if they're free. You also have really good points within the aspects of which arguments you're using.
