The purpose of an argumentative essay is to express a one-sided point of view on a particular subject. Argumentative essays present the facts of a specific point of view and attempt to persuade the reader. These types of essays are commonly assigned in introductory English or writing classes as an effective way to teach students to write persuasively, present facts and even to conduct some research. Argumentative essays are basically written like other types of essays and must include an introduction, a thesis statement, body paragraphs and a conclusion. They also strictly present a single side of an issue. |
