Write a paper that makes a claim of truth, using research and all your powers of rhetoric. Warning: Do not write a value paper. Truth claims assert whether something is or is not factually true; value papers assert whether something is good or bad. For example, a truth claim might read, Vandelay Industries polluted that lake, while a value claim might read, It was wrong of Vandelay Industries to pollute that lake.
