We need to write an essay based on my previous essay which I’m gonna attach that essay after you accept my work. 

Description

In this section, you will be presenting the opposing arguments or criticism of your argument. Then you will be giving your refutation of that opposing argument/criticism. The voice of the opposing argument/criticism is known as the naysayer of your argument. In other words, you will present the other side’s argument and respond to their argument.

Necessary Components 

  • Naysayer’s side: You must explain the naysayer’s side (or the opposing arguments). You should use a quote, paraphrase, or summary from a source that agrees with your naysayer to illustrate that side’s argument.
  • Refutation: You must then convincingly refute the naysayer’s argument. You should also use a source to back up your refutation.

Organization

I suggest you make this section into 2 paragraphs. Make sure you use transitions at the beginning of each paragraph to make it clear whose side you are presenting. See the They Say/I Say templates websites for samples of ways to start the Naysayer section.

  1. Naysayer’s side
  2. Refutation

Other Requirements 

  • Your Naysayer section should be at least 300 words in length.  It should be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, 12-point font.  For a sample of MLA format, see the Purdue OWL Website.
  • Be sure to include a Works Cited page that follows MLA format. See the Plagiarism and Documentation tab for more information about MLA format.

Plagiarism Reminder

Plagiarism is using someone else’s words or ideas without giving credit and is a serious academic offense.  It can range from: 

  • Turning in a paper any part of which you did not write.
  • Cutting and pasting a paper together from various sources without attributing the sources correctly.
  • Changing a few words but basically keeping most of the words and sentence structure of the original.
  • Using the ideas of another without giving credit to the person who originally had the ideas.
  • Using the exact words of the source without using quotation marks even if you give the name of the source.

Refer to the syllabus for consequences of plagiarism in this class.
