Explain how the author of the article portrays Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya

Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
3 0

Hello. You did not submit the article to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding were very famous and talented American ice skaters, but in a sports competition, only one person wins the title of champion and because of that, an article author can consider Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding counterparts. In this case, we can consider that the author will present the two girls as rivals in the sport and explain what made them rivals for the competition jury and even for them.

This rivalry may explain the impact of the accident involving their names. This accident occurred when Nancy Kerrigan was attacked by a man who tried to break her legs with an iron rod. This man was hired by Tonya Harding's husband and bodyguard. Although Tonya denied having participated in this attack, she later confessed that she knew of her husband's plans to break Nancy's legs, so that Tonya would have no competitors who could prevent her from winning the competitions.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Find the supporting evidence the author provides.

Explanation:

An argumentative writing can be defined as an expression of a writer's position (stance) on a subject matter or topic.

A claim can be defined as a statement that is used by a writer to prove, substantiate or support an argument.

On the other hand, a counterclaim is an assertive statement made to offset, refute or oppose a claim. A counterclaim is considered to be a rebuttal.

Thus, a claim is an assertive statement expressed by a writer to prove that an argument is true or real.

This ultimately implies that, when writers engage in an argument or write an argumentative essay, they make use of a claim to state or express their opinions about the subject matter or topic.

Also, a thesis statement is a brief, concise summary of a claim or main idea stated in a literary work. It is usually written at the conclusion (tail end) of an introduction in an article.

When you analyze the claim made by an author, the next step you should take after identifying the claim is to look or find the supporting evidence that's being provided by the author. This supporting evidence would help you in assessing and determining the credibility of his or her claims. Also, it's used to check whether or not the conclusion drawn from the claims are reliable, logical, and trustworthy.
