ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY - DEFINITION

An argumentative essay is an essay that takes a position on a particular issue or topic.

PURPOSE OF AN ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY - DEFINITION

The purpose of an argumentative essay is to convince the reader that your viewpoint is true or correct. This kind of essay is similar to the persuasive essay because both essay present a viewpoint on an issue. However, the persuasive essay can use opinions and appeal to the reader's emotions.

EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE CLAIM - DEFINITION

While writing an argumentative essay, it is important to provide facts and statistical evidence to support the claim you make. Without this, the claim will only be an opinion. This will not convince the reader that your viewpoint is correct. You need to research your topic thoroughly and make a note of all the data that can support your argument. While writing the essay, present your argument with all the supporting evidence.

COUNTERCLAIMS - DEFINITION

A counterclaim is a claim that opposes another claim. The purpose of an argumentative essay is to present your viewpoint on a particular issue. However, it is also important to acknowledge viewpoints that may oppose your own. Use a paragraph to outline the possible counterclaims that could be made against your claim.

UNDERMINE THE COUNTERCLAIMS - DEFINITION

Once you have acknowledged the counterclaims, you also need to undermine them i.e. explain why they don't work. Use proper reasons and evidence to do this. By stating and undermining the counterclaims, you can convince the reader that you have thought about the issue from all sides.

COMPOSING AN ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY - DEFINITION

Keep the following points in mind while composing an argumentative essay:

The essay should use logic and reason to present your position on a particular topic or issue

Research the topic thoroughly and identify statistical evidence and facts to support your claim.

Compare and contrast Lieutenant Kotler and Bruno’s father. (From the Novel) for 5 stars and 25 points.

gregori [183]

Ralf, Bruno’s father, was a soldier in the Great War (World War I), and is promoted to Commandant in the German Army by Hitler during World War II. He moves the family to Auschwitz, where he is in charge of the camp. Father is strict and intimidating, but expresses tenderness towards his family. He eventually consents to letting the family move back to Berlin, though he remains at Auschwitz to continue his duties for Hitler. A year after Bruno disappears, he figures out what happened to his son, and is destroyed by the realization. When the Allied soldiers come to take him away for punishment, Father submits to their demands, as he no longer has the will to live.

The The Boy in the Striped Pajamas quotes below are all either spoken by Father or refer to Father. For each quote, you can also see the other characters and themes related to it (each theme is indicated by its own dot and icon, like this one: Innocence and Ignorance Theme Icon). Note: all page numbers and citation info for the quotes below refer to the David Fickling Books edition of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas published in 2007.
