Whichever structure you choose, you will need to include at least four secondary sources to support your argument, and two of those sources must come from the library databases. Your argument must focus on an ethical issue related to the work(s).

Imagine you are writing for curious, intelligent readers at the college level. You must also specify your audience more narrowly, as described below. You concluded essay 2 with your tentative thesis. Now you must refine that thesis, revise your research, and develop your thesis in an argumentative essay.

Some sources may support your more focused claim, while some will have to be abandoned. I expect your research, as well as your writing, to be revised for essay 3. While your argument should address an ethics-related problem, you are not limited to the type of claim you may make (e.g., definition, cause, proposal, position paper, evaluation). You can find guidelines for each kind of arguments in Read, Reason, Write, chapters 7-11.

The following specific elements should be integrated into your essay:

1. Target Audience: At the top of your first page, write “Audience: _____” and fill in the specific audience you imagine addressing in your essay. As you write, think about how you can provide the context, evidence, and examples that would be helpful, relevant, and persuasive for this audience. You must also include a few sentences explaining how you have constructed your essay and argument to appeal to that audience.

2. Design: If you are writing about a visual medium, include at least two images to support your argument. If you are writing about a verbal medium (a book or a podcast), use pull quotes (see link for definition) in at least two places in your essay to highlight samples from the work that support your description of the work. Think about how the visual design of your essay will absorb readers. Label, caption, and cite your images/pull quotes.
