I started this writing process by reading through the literary criticism packet we received in class and attempting to choose a lens. Originally, I wished to conduct my research through a feminist lens, but overtime my ideas evolved and I changed lenses completely. I began research using the Bloom Databases and found many insightful articles describing social class. Since I could find so much information on social class, I felt that this would be a good topic to choose, however on its own it…

I have used many examples to make sure my claim has enough support as well as detailed paragraphs containing my analysis on my topic. Instead of having a counterargument paragraph right before the conclusion, I put the counterargument in the middle of my body paragraphs so that I was able to write a couple paragraphs after the counterargument paragraph arguing against it. By having a strong research paper I was able to complete the unit 4 project with ease because I had my claim and sub-claims…

telling a story in order to try to make a change. The examples they give in this chapter really help to show what the author means by a narrative argument. • Rebuttal Arguments I have learned of counterargument before, but I’ve never heard of refutation.
