Addiction and the Predisposition

times new roman font, double spaced, and i am doing the traditional 5 paragraph essay with an intro, 3 body paragrpahs and conclusion i have to write a persuasive speech over a topic of my choice and i chose to write about addiction and the predisposition to addiction in families nov 8th i have to submit it before 10:55pm central time Guidelines: In order to persuade the audience to accept the position you are advocating in this paper, you will use different kinds of appeals: ethos (which involves the credibility of the speaker, writer, or authority being cited); logos (which involves facts, statistics, and logic); and pathos (which involves emotions). A good persuasive argument uses credible sources, objective evidence, and emotional “hooks” to make use of logos, ethos, and pathos respectively. Be sure your thesis statement is very clear. It should be a single complete sentence, including both a subject and a predicate, that combine to make claim. Example: “The USA should be more competitive in establishing a presence on Mars.” Your introduction paragraph should include a “hook” to grab the reader’s attention. The thesis statement is typically seen in the first paragraph. Your body paragraphs will support the thesis. You should use credible sources and cite them according to the style of your discipline. Your conclusion should reiterate the strongest points from your paper and give the audience something to consider, moving forward.
