  4. I think that if you want a gaming system or a new game that if you ask your parents they would say why do you deserve so and so. You would need to have a few reasons why.He or she will need to be prepared for what will happen before you talk to them have a plan of what reasons why you can get so and so so have a few reason why you deserve that thing be prepared and have faith. :)

  5. If you are a good argumentative writer you can change peoples opinion of a topic. imagine that you are asking your parents for a new video game. Your parents may say no, but if you are a good argumentative write, you can give a good reason for getting the game. Like, "it's educational and it can teach me life skills.' If you can make a good point, they may get you the game. Or they will just say no.

  21. When you use the argumentative essay writing style it will help you a lot. You need evidence that what you are saying is true and you need stuff to support the evidence. For example, your sister thinks her brother stole 20 bucks and spent it at the mall. If the brother didn't do it he needs to find ways to support his claim. Also known as "evidence". So furthermore, argumentative writing styles help you a lot in the world. They can get your innocent or guilty.

  62. Argumentative essays are something you want to be good at because not only does it give you an organized argument, but it also makes your argument seem stronger. When two scientists are fighting over whether or not evolution exists, they both gather physical evidence along with other evidence to make their side seem stronger. If you're good with argumentative essays, it would be easier to get others to side with you. The scientist with a stronger claim and more convincing evidence would be believed more rather the weaker claim with little evidence. -Cassidy R.

In the end, argumentative skills can help you with some certain daily tasks. :)
