Persuasive argument essay


The persuasive argument essay was the most challenging. I say that not because of the difficulty of the paper but more for personal reasons. I knew that it was our last so I needed to prove something to myself. I believe through this paper I finally picked good topic sentences. I learned as a writer that I must slow down and stop over thinking things. As a student, I realized that we are all at different levels but can always learn from one another.

My number one problem is always topic sentences. I believe I finally got it right. The reason I pushed pass this was with the help during peer review. During peer review I realized that the structure of my paper was off-set and confusing because of where my topic sentences were located.

Writing this essay made me realize how back and forth you can be when you lack certain aspects of a topic. I must’ve switched from being for genetic modification to not at least 6 times. The funny part of it all is I thought for sure I was totally for it. I believe that my decision was solid given all the info I researched. What helped me the most though was just discussing my topic with others to find opposing views or strong agreements.
