Who is the audience for your essay? What is the thesis of the essay? Does it include the claim and 3 supporting reasons to make it a strong thesis?
Thesis: The federal ban on medical marijuana should be abolished in the United States in accordance with the will of the majority, as the plant cures and treats many health problems without the terrible side-effects all other pharmaceuticals are accompanied with. The audience for this essay is all persons that desire holistically healthful treatment of medically afflicted persons. The three supporting reasons that medical marijuana should be abolished are; it is the will of the majority in the United States, the plant is first and foremost an effective and healthy medicine, and that the plant is more effective in healing than alternative legal narcotics which have very unhealthful side-effects.
Can the audience be swayed by your claim and reasons? Why or why not? Tell why each reason is strong enough to sway a person to your way of thinking.
I believe that that audience could be swayed by this essay because all of the opposing controversy is media drama, and is based on very little fact. I believe that the audience of persons that would be interested in reading about any natural treatment of a deadly or chronic disease, would be well beyond believing advertisements. This is why I am sure that these people would agree with the legalization of medical marijuana. Because marijuana is not hype, it works.
What value does each of your sources have to your audience?
My current number one priority in writing this paper is to throughly research the opposition's sources. The opposing sources are even more important than the many wondrous supporting sources in this topic, because the information that is primarily in circulation is the opposition. Before I present "Granny Storm Crow"'s comprehensive medical treatment list or a slew of the uses for THC-less hemp, the slate needs to be prepped. I read the opposition's views, but didn't translate them as the reader would ask them. To make a well-rounded paper the opposition must be explained well.
Participation, Read another student's blog. Indicate whose blog you read. Did you make any comments on that blog? Why or why not? Ask about extra credit points for making a comment on someone else's blog.
I chose to read and comment on Sasha's blog "The Krammer Chronicals". I responded to some of her post's, What are the details of extra credit of which you write?
