help me write a persuasive essay on animal cruelty?

We Answered:

Everyone's against animal cruelty so it's difficult to do a "persuasive essay". No one needs to be pursuaded to think animal cruelty is wrong.

It would be easier to break it down and talk about 1 aspect of animal cruelty.

Examples:
~People who don't care for their pets properly.
This is actually a great topic. You could talk about how people get animals on impulse because they're cute, but just a few weeks down the line, the don't want them anymore because they don't want to put in the work of cleaning, feeding and socializing the animals. Also, in the case of exotic animals, people don't do enough research into how to care for them properly and wind up actually killing them by feeding them wrong, keeping them in the wrong cage, etc.

~Cosmetics being tested on animals.
This is another good one. Companies test chemicals and products on animals which causes them pain and great harm saying they have to make sure it's safe for humans. You could talk about how such tests are pointless because animals always react differently to chemicals than people do so this "research" has no basis in reality.

~Animal testing in medical research.
This is a fascinating topic. There are so many laws and procedures that protect animals now than there was just a few years ago. You could talk about that, or you could ream medical research the same way you would the cosmetic companies I mention above.

~Animal abuse as a predictor of crime.
It's been proven that people who abuse animals as children are more likely to commit a violent offense as an adult. ***Fascinating!*** There's lots of research about this right now. Also, they're finding that abused children will harm animals as a way of dealing with their pain and helplessness. It's gruesome, but interesting.

Good luck, hope I helped.

How will I write a persuasive essay about the importance of Health?

We Answered:

All essays makes a statement and the statement is a point supported by a proof with a comment on how our understanding has grown or changed based upon this research.

A standard essay contains three parts
Opening
Body
Closing

Each part of an essay is composed of paragraphs.

All paragraphs are composed of three elements.
Point
Proof
Comment.

A small essay may look like this.

The opening paragrapsh asserts a point, proves that the assertion is valid by pointing to evidence, and then makes a comment on why the point is of interest.

Point: All red balls are red.
Proof: Red balls collected from all parts of the globe and studied by experts in colour have concluded that all red balls are red.
Comment: Accordingly funding for further study has been denied based upon the matter being classified as worthy of notice only.


The body of the essay may make three points that support the opening point.


The three points are dealt with separately in three paragraphs in accordance with the format.

Support Point 1. The work of Sampson and Goliath tells us that all balls gathered in Asia were determined to be of a red colour.
Supporting proof 1. The records of Sampson and Goliath were preserved in a mudslide and are considered to be accurate recounts.
Comment. This study is probative of the premise that all red balls are red since all red balls in Asia are red.

Support Point 2. The work of Sodom and Gemhora done a century later expanded the study in Europe.
Proof of point 2. Their work was conducted under the scrutiny of J who was credited with dilligence and precision as a reputation.
Comment. The Asia study is confirmed by the European Study.

Support Point 3. This matter was ordered closed by the Emperor after riots broke out over fraudulent claims of some red balls as being brown. The Emperor was unsuccessful in keeping the matter closed. Proof 3. The excavations of Utrichia disovered wall paintings. At that time paint specialist had devised new techniques for analyzing pigment. It was found that brown changed into red over time.
Comment. The purity of the Asian study and the European study was now open to question.

The final paragraph has the same format but it synthesises the three points in the body as its point. It reviews the proofs by linking them together. Then it makes a comment.

Final Point: While all red balls are red, not all balls are red and this alters the purity of findings on red balls. The third point in this essay examined ancient wall paintings and the proof therein tells us that some pigment change colour over time.

The comment of the final paragraph should contrast the opening point and the final point.

Final comment. It may be the case that not all red balls are red all of the time. Funding for new studies on this matter will give preference to those who demonstrate valid suspicions regarding the true colour of other balls. We will not consider squares or triangles at this time.

The final comment and the opening premise should cover some intellectual distance. In other words the opening premise should evolve into the closing comment or stand in oposition to it.

This is an example of a well composed essay. Research means to learn about something. You are going to examine the nature of a matter by showing how it develops or you are going to examine the nature of a matter by contrasting it to what it is not.

As to citation you have to inquire what format of citation is expected from the nature of the essay. Citation in a legal essay has its own special rules. Generally however a citation is the name of the source, the author, and an indentification of where in the work your informaiton can be found such as XXXX journal, 1990 series 4, Spring issue, page 43.

Example: Asian Red Balls and Thier Predecessors, by Sampson and Goliath, Pompeii Collection, facsimile release 1990 by Excavations International, files 112 to 117.

You can yahoo search "academic citation standards". However your professor or teacher will have a preference.

Primarily the goal is to keep yourself clean of claiming credit for the work of others. So long as you do that then the details of format are of secondary importance.

Research is incredibly siimple. Just remember POINT PROOF COMMENT over and over and over. Every point you make should have proof and a comment. Every proof you use should have a point and a comment. Every comment should have a point and proof. Every essay is making a point and demonstrating the proof with an explanation of the proof and the point which is the comment. Every part of the essay is a unit of a point, proof, comment. Stack all of them together in an orderly fashion and you have a research paper. From a children's story to a doctoral thesis the format is the same. Ta da! You just got an education that your teachers do not have. Go knock em out!

How do I write a persuasive essay on hating my dad?

We Answered:

Why're you writing an essay about that? XD

Anyways. First make some sort of outline. Think of what you will describe in the introduction: The subject and your point of view.
Then you can describe what you want to write in te main part. Try to find at least 3 arguments that support your opinion. Then you try to find some counter-arguments so you can counter them
Last, you have to write what you want to describe in your conclusion: So, what was your point again?

When you start writing, you have to be clear and straight to the point. Try to not make any grammatic or spellingerrors (sorry if I'm doing that now myself, but English is not my mother language ;) ). Just stuk to your outline: Work up everything you wrote there.

How do you write a persuasive essay about hemp?

We Answered:

I'd start off with an intro on hemp's history. Then do a paragraph telling about the benefits of cotton, but in the middle of the paragraph, try doing a sentence starting "But, cotton does have it's disadvantages, just like most other things in life." Or something of the like and then start a new paragraph telling about the benefits of hemp. Be sure to put in how hemp clothing will last you forever. They won't wear down or anything. I have some hemp too. I love it. It's amazingly comfortable. That's all I can think of. Good luck!
