In Walden, Henry David Thoreau states that your own thoughts are more important to own than clothing.
This is what he says:
"Sell your clothes and keep your
thoughts. God will see that you do not want society."
A claim is the main argument. Evidence is the facts or research to support your claim. I hope you win your next argument! :D
I don't recommend using the first person pronoun in an argumentative essay. Unless your instructor suggests that you do so, omit it from the assignment because your writing will read better without it.
