    But they’ll argue with me over a 10pt assignment.

  • I hope it’s b, otherwise I didn’t know informative was also the format for argumentative.

    It’s like McDonald’s, customer think they don’t need to argue with managers, just the person on the counter who can’t make a change.

    All right it’s not, but at least I accept my fate, unless I’m still confused by the question, (I don’t argue, as I want a chance for it to be right).

  • Congratulations.

    I can’t figure out why my 120 students want to ask questions as thesis statements. That’s not argumentative at all. Errrrg. Need to refresh their melons on each assignment, I suppose.

  • B, obviously. You’re showing your view point, and no one elses. Which is a good thing. I’m fond of arguing on paper, but not in real life.

    I end up doing too much of it in real life to enjoy it. I do like to negotiate, however. I’m a lover for seeing both sides of the spectrum.

  • i really like the POP QUIZ.i have some helpful tips about argumentative thesis.

    thesis writing help
