I started my essay based off of plastic straws. I found an argumentative article from the University of Arizona. I decided to use this because I was given a paper straw when I went to the Mcdonald’s drive-through and I did not agree with it. I care about the environment as well though so I do not want to bring back plastic straws entirely like my argument wants to. I think I am going to agree with my argument that other forms of straws are not it, but I may suggest that we should find an alternative to plastic straws other than the ones we have now. I am nervous about completing my essay because I have a lot of assignments in my other classes. Although, I know that I will be able to get it done because I always do.

For my essay, I have already started the introduction. I am following the format of the rhetorical analysis in our class textbook, so I think that I will be able to complete my assignment efficiently.

essay 2 outline:

intro: I will begin by connecting my personal experience of Mcdonalds to the article that is in favor of plastic straws i can say how I like plastic straws and agree with the article

body paragraphs

  1. ethos
  2. pathos
  3. logos
  4. maybe choose the opposing side
  5. then explain why the opposing side is wrong
  6. conclusion

I think that this light format will be easy to follow I am just worried that I will not be able to make it long enough.
