Overview and Purpose

The purpose of this essay is to analyze various arguments (for, against, and anything in between) from credible sources, show how sources connect (or disconnect), and bring your third-person voice (based on the textual evidence) into conversation with the texts. You need to have a clear stance on the topic, and by using elements of persuasion, you should appeal to and persuade your audience to understand your stance. You should NOT be writing an essay that states your position and simply argues how your point is correct. Remember that this is a formal argument essay –NOT an opinion piece. This means that you need to provide an argument based on textual analysis and evidence.
