If there is no claim, the writer has no topic they are trying to prove. James E. McWilliams claims that the locavore movement is not protecting the earth because there are multiple other factors that use energy and contribute to the hurting the earth. The author talks about the “other energy-hogging factors in food production” (McWilliams, 2009, ). The way McWilliams phrases the claim shows the reader he understands the topic on a deeper level and helps prove his assertion. Qualifiers help strengthen the argument and are used to make exceptions to the claim.
This layer of the Niobrara contains much evidence of life of vertebrates and aquatic life, including birds. The limestone layer is a thick layer of limestone separated from the chalk layer by shale. The limestone layer also contains many fossilized remains, but is best known for having marine reptiles that have been preserved rather well. The currents from the different seas as well as the draining of surface water into the seaway were important in the formations of these layers and the fossilization of marine life (Colorado Parks and
We walked along the beach a little more and talked and looked at the location of a whale skull that used to be buried in the sand. The rock was actually much smoother than . We also took a look at some possible bones and skeletal remains along with concretions. The concretions were rather large comparable to smart car in size. Concretions are solid masses formed around some type of matter that will change the chemistry of the rock slightly, helping it become harder and less susceptible to erosion.
In the passage, the author claims that the Edmontosaurus migrated south in order to survive. However, the lecture refutes the view in the reading and argues that the arguments are not convincing. First of all, the passage establishes the view that Edmontosaurus diet drove them southward because there would have been no plants alive in the North Slope. By contrast, the professor in the lecture contends that Edmontosaur does not need to migrate to South to get food. Edmontosaur can get good quality of plants since it was 24 hours of sunshine during summer.
(Steffen et al., 2011; Lewis and Maslin, 2015). There have even been numerous calls to recognise this influence by renaming the most geological epoch in humans’ honour”
Title Researchers and scientists have constructed extensive research on dinosaur’s extinction. Speculation instead of real evidence seems common in most theories about the dinosaurs’ extinction. However, Jay Gould’s essay “Sex, Drugs, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs” is the complete opposite of speculation over evidence. Rather, Gould uses the mix of persuasive techniques, such as rhetorical questions, logos, along with profound evidence to not only disapprove of other theories but convince readers of his place on the dinosaur’s extinction.

And expectedly, as an expert witness, he provided knowledgeable and scientific proofs to support the defense side. First of all, he stated his neutrality towards religion, making sure that his evidence is definitely unbiased. Osborn started his delivery with his belief that our ancestors are not ape-like, instead they are more human than ape. As a staff in the museum, he urged the investigation and exhibition of murals, habitat dioramas, and dinosaur mounts. His mentioning of the existence of dinosaurs was conducive to denying the bible.
In the article “Evolution as Fact and Theory” Stephen Jay Gould who is one of the leading theorists in evolution argues that the debate between evolutionists and creationists is pointless since creationists’ arguments lack support and evidence. Gould writes that creationists’ main argument is that evolution is only a theory. However, Gould states that it is not only a theory but also a fact. He suggests that humans evolved from apelike— whether or not is happened by Darwin’s mechanism. What Gould is saying is that there is more than enough evidence to support the theory of evolution and the question that scientists are trying to answer is how exactly all living organisms are linked.
Unit 2: EA2 Argumentative Essay Reflection What I feel I did well on this argumentative essay was my research. I had many sources that provided me with facts and statistics and they helped me to decide what side I was on. There were many sources that I did not use but that I had read through. What I struggled with was commentary.
Stephen Jay Gould's article, "Sex, Drugs, Disasters, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs”, discusses the essence of science and takes into consideration the significant distinction between both science and mere speculations. To my understanding, Gould is trying to communicate to his readers that sometimes scientists too fall victim to the trending themes of our culture and develop these senseless speculations to gain recognition. In order to prove his point, Gould introduces three theories on how the demise of the dinosaurs came to be- sex, drugs, and disaster. He explains that these will be an effective way of illustrating the difference between pseudoscience and genuine science. In my opinion, Gould’s purpose was to show us, the readers, how
This makes the argument better because some people would agree that charter schools are a better alternative to public schools and some may think different. 3.
