The quality of the claim

Please post your twice-revised paragraphs to this blog entry as a comment below. You are then to read everyone’s paragraph. While reading, think about the argument the writer presents. What are their arguments about? What is their view of the story, and what are they saying ABOUT what the story MEANS?

After reading all the paragraphs are posted, select the top three paragraphs. Your criteria should include: Which is the most interesting claim? Which is the least obvious claim? Which provides the best evidence in support of their claim? Which paragraph makes the best case in support of their view of the story?

Post your name as a comment to the three paragraphs you believe make the best argument.
