Writing Homework Help

For this first essay, I would like you to compare and contrast the arguments made by the Gates Foundation and Anna Goren concerning AGRA. You will need to analyze and critique the claims and arguments presented by these two sources in order to come to a larger understanding or overarching claim (i.e. thesis statement) about AGRA and the Gates Foundation.

Remember that you do not have enough room to properly discuss and analyze all the arguments made, therefore you will want to focus on particulars, such as rhetorical positioning, capital investment, biodiversity, seed saving versus hybrid development, etc. More than likely though, your essay will focus on a couple of aspects that link clearly to one another. The links you make are the bulk of your argument along with the analysis of your sources. I suggest making a list of the main points and the examples used in each article to assist you in finding a focus.

In order to complete your essay, you will need to mold 4-­5, double­-spaced, pages into clear cohesive arguments that directly analyzes evidence to support your larger claim. You will practice shaping persuasive argumentative paragraphs following the body paragraph outline we have covered and only using ONE piece of evidence per paragraph.
