In The Norton Field Guide pages 809-830 you will read four different argument essays, and on pages 998-1006 you will read two different mixed genre essays that include ideas that could be framed as arguments. In addition, you are scheduled to read report essays on pages 792-806. While these essays are not examples of arguments, you could find elements from them about which you could choose a side. When you write paper four, choose one of these positions, and write an argument either for or against it. Support your argument with at least four sources from the Billington Library databases ( and the essay from our textbook.
When I grade this essay, I will check to see that it is in MLA format and includes a works cited page with at least five appropriate sources on it. This paper should be between 4-6 pages long.
