The average argumentative essay is between three to five pages, and will require at least three or four separate sources with which to back your claims.An argumentative essay attempts to convince a reader to agree with a particular argument (the writer's thesis statement). The writer takes a firm stand one way or another on a topic and then uses hard evidence to support that stance.

An argumentative essay seeks to prove to the reader that one argument—the writer's argument—is the factually and logically correct one. This means that an argumentative essay must use only evidence-based support to back up a claim, rather than emotional or philosophical reasoning (which is often allowed in other types of essays). Thus, an argumentative essay has a burden of substantiated proof and sources, whereas some other types of essays (namely persuasive essays) do not.

You can write an argumentative essay on any topic, so long as there's room for argument. Generally, you can use the same topics for both a persuasive essay or an argumentative one, so long as you support the argumentative essay with hard evidence.

Example topics of an argumentative essay:

“Should farmers be allowed to shoot wolves if those wolves injure or kill farm animals?”

“Should the drinking age be lowered in the United States?”

“Are alternatives to democracy effective and/or feasible to implement?”

The next three types of essays are not argumentative essays, but you may have written them in school. We're going to cover them so you know what not to do for your argumentative essay.

Answer:

The above excerpt is taken from the Book of Revelation chapter 6: 8 from the Bible. It shows the revelations of God to John about the future of man and the world.

Explanation:

The last book of the Bible, Revelation deals with the holy revelation of the future of the world and humans or in other terms known as the tribulation/ Rupture. The prophet John is taken in spirit and shown by God what the world will come to when the world ends.

The lines -<em> "And I looked, and behold a pale horse and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth"</em>

are from the 8th verse of Chapter 6. The 6th Chapter shows an angel showing the 4 horses that will be sent to earth to do various works. The first horse was white, second fiery red, third was black and the last was pale, representing Death. This fourth horse is what's described in the 8th verse. This rider will go to the earth and kill one half of the world's population, following him is Hades/ Hell, ready to take the souls of the dead sinners. They are free to kill anyone with their sword, or starve them or with "death and with the beasts of the earth."

This section of the Bible shows the calamities that will befall mankind on the day of tribulation.
