In a discursive essay it is important to list the points of view of both sides of an argument as
objectively as possible. Only in the conclusion can you express your own point of view. Notice the
use of report structures (e.g. feel that), passives and formal linkers (e.g. moreover, furthermore) in
the sentences below.
Listing arguments:
Many people feel that harder sentences should be brought back.
The American system of 'three strikes and out' has supporters in Britain.
Moreover, some people say that conditions in prisons are too soft.
There are arguments for the restoration of the death penalty.

Everything Is An Argument
After reading the chapter the phrase" everything is an argument" means to me any " text–written,
spoke, aural, or visual– that expresses a point of view" (Everything's an Argument, n.d.). Out of
chapter one; I chose Arguments to Make Decisions. Arguments to convince and persuade are similar
to it. Arguments to Make Decisions are all around us; like the elections, health care, constitutional
rights, and immigration Additionally,college students are also forced to make decisions. They have
to decide which major is the best one for them and their future.
When I think about Argument to Make Desicisons, and elections like it said in Chapter one. People
will listen to a candidate to present their case. And show evidence to support their assertions.
