ReplyDeleteI appreciate your use of textual evidence! I am not sure what exactly the thesis is on your argument. You seem to just give a reason why you picked what you did, rather than argue why it is useful. Does that make sense? I think what would make this more helpful is explaining more why you chose the argument style you did. That would help to solidify your thesis. Great job overall with deciding which arguments to use!

ReplyDeleteI like the arguments you chose. I also think it would be helpful to make a thesis with adding more analysis for your evidence. Through adding more critical content, a thesis can be more easily drawn from the data.
