Paragraph:

#1: Thesis Statement

Main Point of Paragraph:

Political articles are often
written with the impact they
will have on the intended
audience in mind; and the
conventions of political
articles often function to
persuade the audience.

How It Supports Argument:

It is my argument ;)

#2

The convention of pictures

and its connection to visual
literacy.

#3

The convention of quotes and

how they impact readers.

#4

How the authors rhetoric

function to persuade the
audience.

#5

The difference in the way

political articles are written.

#6

Why it is valuable to be able

to recognize the conventions
of political articles.

#7

Conclusion that basically

restates the point and makes
the connection to its
relevance in our everyday
lives.

This directly connects to my

argument because it is an
example of a convention that
functions to persuade the
audience.
The quotes is another
convention that is used to
persuade the audience,
therefore, it supports my
argument in the same way
paragraph 3 does.
It is once again supporting
my argument by claiming that
the rhetoric that authors use is
mainly aimed to persuade
their audience. I also give
examples of different ways
this is done rhetorically.
I connect this to my argument
by saying that the writers
likely go about writing the
articles differently because
they think it will be more
effective in terms of
convincing their audience.
This supports my argument
because I state that we can be
mislead by authors of
political articles whos main
goal is to persuade us.
I restate my argument but
also support it by adding that
the authors aim of persuasion
can alter our views of aspects
of the American government.
