Write: What sort of feedback did you receive from your instructor? Share that feedback to whatever degree you are comfortable. Additionally, now that you have conducted research and completed your annotated bibliography, has your opinion on the topic stayed the same or changed in some way?

In a few sentences each, identify and explain how you plan to develop the following elements of your draft. ethos, pathos, and logos thesis statement (the paper's position), based on feedback from your instructor at least two claims, building on last week's research and assignment at least one counter argument and ideas for rebuttal Note any questions or concerns regarding the development of your argument so that your instructor/peers may provide advice for moving forward.

Paper For Above instruction

In reflecting on my previous assignment, I recognize that my research process was thorough but lacked critical engagement with counterarguments, which was highlighted in the feedback I received. My instructor pointed out that although my claims were well-supported with credible sources, I needed to strengthen my argument with more nuanced analysis, particularly in addressing potential objections to my thesis. This feedback prompted me to reconsider my stance and explore additional perspectives, which I incorporated into my recent research and annotated bibliography. As a result, my opinion on the topic has evolved slightly; I now understand the complexity of the issue and see the importance of considering diverse viewpoints to bolster my argument.

For my upcoming paper, I plan to develop a clear thesis rooted in ethos, pathos, and logos to create a compelling and balanced argument. My thesis will assert that [insert specific thesis statement], supported by credible evidence (logos), ethical appeals to my audience’s sense of justice (ethos), and emotional appeals that emphasize the human impact of the issue (pathos). I intend to include at least two claims: first, that [claim 1], supported by recent studies and expert opinions; second, that [claim 2], which appeals to the audience’s sense of morality and social responsibility. Building on last week’s research, I will also incorporate at least one counterargument—such as [counterargument]—and rebut it by highlighting flaws or providing empirical evidence to support my position.

A concern I have is ensuring that my counterargument is sufficiently nuanced and not dismissive, maintaining a respectful tone. I am also uncertain about how best to balance emotional appeals with logical reasoning without overshadowing either. I seek advice on refining my rebuttal strategies and ensuring my argument remains cohesive and persuasive throughout.
