Prompt:
Select either Oliver Stone’s essay or Kirk Douglass’s OP-Ed
article, and write an EVALUATION
of the author’s argument. First, explain the writer’s purpose, or
intent, and the main opinion, or claim, the writer is defending. Then, describe
the means of support the author uses ( facts, examples, loaded words, anecdotes, elements of figurative language).
Next describe the tone, of the piece. Finally, comment on how successful the
author was in convincing you with his argument. Was your heart touched? Your
mind? Both?
