Review the debate between former presidents, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. In a three paragraph essay of (4-5

I am Lyosha [343]

The essay should show your opinion and understanding of the past presidents' debates. As I do not have access to your interpretations of the debate, I cannot write the essay, but I will show you how to write it.

<h3>Essay structure</h3>

Introduction: Write a short paragraph, about what this speech was and how inflation was a subject covered in it.

Thesis statement: Write a single sentence, which should end your introduction. The thesis statement should show which candidate approached the topic of inflation most convincingly in your opinion.

Body: Write two paragraphs. These paragraphs must be long because they are the ones where you will show your positions on the debate. In the first paragraph, you will show evidence that your thesis statement is correct, showing the reasons that make you believe that a candidate was more convincing and approached the subject correctly. In the second paragraph, you will criticize the way the other candidate approached the subject and show the reasons that make that candidate's arguments not convincing to you.

Conclusion: You will write a short paragraph, where you will show and reinforce your thesis statement, reaffirming the candidate who was most efficient and how the words of this candidate were in line with the society of that time.

You will need to watch, listen or read the debate to write this essay and you can use articles that analyze the performance of the two candidates to strengthen your arguments.

Below you can see an example of how you can write the introduction and thesis statement for your essay:

<em>The debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan was one of the major milestones of the 1980 presidential election. In that year, American society suffered from a lack of economic stability and rising inflation, which made this one of the most important issues in the debate. , which was best addressed by Reagan.</em>
