An argumentative essay should have several parts. Each split into sub categories. These parts include but are not limited to an introduction, support, defending against a counter-argument, and finally a conclusion. The introduction should be split into several pieces, the hook, the background and the thesis. The hook grabs the reader's attention and gets them interested in the essay. The background describes why and where the argument comes from. Within this section several questions should be answered; what?,who cares?, and why does it matter?. The background should then lead into the thesis. This is where you take a stance on the issue or topic at hand. Your argument is based off of what you say in the thesis.After the introduction there is the support and evidence for the stance that you chose within your thesis. The support consists of central claims supporting your argument as well as concrete factual evidence to support that claim. Following the area where you lay out the argument on a silver platter, you address potential counters to the argument that others could bring up. This includes laying out, in complete fact, an argument and a rebut to that argument as well as defending your own. The conclusion wraps up the essay and restates why it is important as well as what would change with the appropriate changes. An argumentative essay should be derived from solid fact and not your opinion. When the essay is presented out on these basis and is backed by factual statements that have truth and accountability within the paper, it should work out quite well. Within the sample essay the author addresses and lays out the facts to support his argument. He then counters an argument against his own argument and then summarizes why it matters and how it effects us as a country. For example, Mike addresses school of choice within the United States of America. He explains his case. After his explanation he supports all pieces with evidence and credible facts. These facts transition to an apposing view by the N.E.A. He addresses this argument and further explains the point of his. Then finishes with the conclusion.
