Answer 1

So what do yo need? A topic? Tips?

Answer 2

no i have a topic i wanna do it aginst abortion but im not sure on how or wat to say

Answer 3

Well, first yo need a introduction essay...also before that..a warning...a lot of teachers might be for or have had an abortion and writing about that could spark their anger against you giving you a bad grade...so I was on facebook the other day and I saw a picture that said: DOUBLE MEANING: Abortion is a choice but when someone murders a pregnant woman it's called a double homicide!

Answer 4

See the irony and contradiction there? You can't kill something that isn't alive right? And that's what abortion is killing something that isn't alive YET, but if thayt's the case why is it called a double homicide if someone murders a pregnant woman?

Answer 5

You can't use that since that isn't put together correctly, but keep it in mind. Also, if you search "stages in pregnancy" you'll find websites that show you what a baby looks like as it grows in a mother's stomach! I believe, (I would have to check) that at around 6-9 weeks they have all the features they need and they can hear, just can't see yet because their eyes are sealed shut...does that not describe a human besides the eyes?

Answer 6

And (this has nothing to do with your argument) but isn't it funny how all the people for abortion were alreadhy born?

Answer 7

idk but u changed my mind lol i dont wanna do it on abortion now cause of the teacher i dont wanna hurt her feelings but i dont no what else to do it on

Answer 8

Well, you could do it about homeless people...Mayor Nutter (in Philadelphia) is passing a ban where organizations like the Chosen300 (look them up) can't feed the homeless near Ben Franklin Parkway (which is where they have been doing it for YEARS). Everyone knows that it's because of the new art museum that's near there, but Mayor Nutter can't say that

Answer 9

If you search Homeless Ban you can probably find good sites!

Answer 10

Another one you could do is about the city coming onto private property and fining people for having their grass too high! They did that to me once I was so mad! I'm not sure how much research you could get out of that though..

Answer 11

You would probably have to interview people

Answer 12

well i cant do that its online

Answer 13

Which one?

Answer 14

i cants interview people

Answer 15

Mmk, that's fine...lesse what else..

Answer 16

what bout drug abuse

Answer 17

What were you persuade people about that?

Answer 18

that doing causes long term health

Answer 19

Hmm, think about your audience though, do you think that drug addicts would read your paper?

Answer 20

true probably not :( idk what to write about

Answer 21

It's ok! The BEST persuasive essay will be the one you feel a strong passion to write about, not one you thought would be easy and quick or seemed pretty good to do! Trial and Error! Now, what is an injustice you feel is in the world that bothers YOU?

Answer 22

what about drinking and driving?

Answer 23

What would you persuade people about that?

Answer 24

that to many people are dieing because of drunk drivers and that we need to keep the streets safe

Answer 25

Hmm, I don't know if that's a good topic for you to tackle...how about this:
Pretend you're a kid and you want allowance. You could write a persuasive essay on why all kids should get allowance for doing chores. Why? Because it could prepare children for managing a budget later in life.

Answer 26

ya that could work but i dont no what supporting details i would do

Answer 27

Well, a lot of people don't know how to handle a budget. BUT if they had an allowance at home we could say thy got $7.50 once a week (lol I love schoolhouse rock) and they had to decide whether to spend it on snacks or at the arcade or save it up for a video game! And later in life, they could decide to spend half of their paycheck on a new computer or save it up til next week so they could buy a laptop!

Answer 28

lol i like that movie too.... so i should say like kids need to have alowance to show them how to save money for what they want.

Answer 29

Well no, that's too narrow, make it broader by saying that it'll show them how to manage a budget

Answer 30

ok so... so my kids will have allowance in the future so that i can show them how to manage money and save for wat they want

Answer 31

right

Answer 32

OK SO THIS IS WHAT I HAVE.......Why do kids need allowance in there life?
Ill be giving my kids allowance in the future because they need to no the facts about saveing money for what they want. Why wait till they are old enough to get a job in the future to try and save money when you can do it early and get them ahead start.

Answer 33

Hmm it's too casual, you're acting like you're talking to your friend as a way to break the ice. You need a first sentence that captures hte reader's attention!

Answer 34

UGHHH idk :0

Answer 35

It's ok! When is this due?

Answer 36

next week

Answer 37

Then you have plenty of time :) Think about what would catch YOUR attention if someone was trying to get you to give your kids allowance

Answer 38

like if my kids want to get a car i wouldnt have to get it for them cause they would no that they have to save for it

Answer 39

What you need to do is get rid of that, and concentrate on the first line in your introductory paragraph. Your introductory paragraph is going to explain what you're going to be talking about in your WHOLEEEEE essay. Now, you won't be talking about what you would do with your kids in the whole essay, in fact, it's best if you leave that out

Answer 40

You know how people do commercials? They figure out what captures the audiences attention and put that in the commercial! That's what YOU have to do

Answer 41

You can! Think with your creativity! Imagination!

Answer 42

Answer 43

Answer 44

Ok that's good...how's this:
Did you know that providing your kid with weekly allowance for completing chores could help them later in life?

Answer 45

ok then i would say like our kids need motivation to help them get to where they want in this world?

Answer 46

No, you are telling people that giving them allowance will help them manage better budgets later in life. Not that it will help them get where they want in this word (it's too broad)

Did you know that providing your child(ren) with weekly allowance for completing chores could help them later in life? Suppose you give your child $7.50 once a week and he/she wanted to buy a stuffed animal and a candy bar. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough for both. Your child would have to decide whether to spend all of their money on the stuffed animal or to save their money for next week so they could buy both. Decisions like these come up in life at any age and it leads to managing a budget. When you give your child allowance, you are teaching your child how to manage a budget, which can help them later in life.

Answer 47

don't have enough*

Answer 48

dont have enough what?

Answer 49

I made a mistake in the paragraph

Answer 50
