Understanding how arguments work in the real world is the first step to creating our own effective arguments. Thus, for the Argument Analysis assignment, you will analyze the structure and content of the following essay:
“Raising a multilingual family is hard what makes it work?” by Olga Mecking, Aeon (PDF)
In your analysis you must
identify the thesis of the essay in question
describe the types of evidence used by the author to defend the thesis, and
assess whether the evidence is logical and effective.
A superior analysis may also identify the assumptions made in the essay and assess whether readers are likely to agree with those assumptions.
Your analysis should present a thesis and offer convincing evidence in support of every claim that you make. As a model for your own paper, you are encouraged to apply the concepts and examples described in the “Rhetorical Analysis” chapter of the textbook.
