Homework Help: English

Posted by April on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 8:47pm.

Thank you so much for your assistance with my thesis statement and topic for my persuasive essay.

Now, can you tell me if I have answered theses two questions correctly pertaining to my thesis statement " solving our economic problems of fear and destruction that have been created through gang violence and drug trafficking is more challenging than society can imagine".

Question # 1. Identify the different types of statistics, graphs, and illustrations that are appropriate for your topic.

Answer : I believe the type of visual most appropriate for my topic is a figure that will provide information showing the amount of money that is spent on illegal drugs each year during a five year period .

Question # 2. Where specifically do these visuals fit most effectively into your paper? In other words, what arguments/counterarguments will each visual accompany? Explain how these visuals strengthen your arguments.

This visual will fit most effectively near the argument that directly represent the visual. This visual will strengthen my argument by allowing me to clearly present information and help capture my audience attention.

Can someone tell me if I have answered these two questions correctly?

Thank you.

I would add what type of visual you'd use -- bar graph, line graph, pie chart? What?

This visual will fit most effectively near the argument that directly represent the visual.<~~This needs to be made more specific. If you have an outline already written up, then you'll be able to state specifically the section in which you'll place the type of visual you named in #1 above. This visual will strengthen my argument by allowing me to clearly present information and help capture my audience attention.

In other words, what you've written is generally all right, but vague. You need more detail. Don't delete what you have written; simply, add the details to make your answers clearer.
