kristib_25 1 / - Nov 18, 2009 #1I have never written an argumentative essay before, but I have a thesis statement and need to know what I really need.. Thesis: Although many people believe interracial marriage is wrong, others believe it is the same as same race marriage.
linmark 2 / 328 7 Nov 18, 2009 #2(No way - This can't be an admission essay!!)My interpretation of the prompt is this: interracial marriage is as right or wrong as same race marriage. My next question is: What is this thesis for? It clearly does NOT have two debatable answers (i.e. one sensible answer.)
EF_Kevin 8 / 13,321 129 Nov 20, 2009 #3A thesis statement should be "arguable" in any essay, especially in an argumentative essay. Who could argue with this thesis? You have to make a thesis that some people would disagree with! That is the trick! :-) Do not state the obvious! :) Look up "argumentative essay" with google for good ideas.
