I need an argumentative essay with a good argumentative thesis on the literature
I need an argumentative essay with a good argumentative thesis on the literature Gilgamesh. I have a copy of my first draft, which I will attach, I need a revision and a new argumentative thesis. Here was the feedback from my professor on my last draft “This paper shows good effort while meeting some of the requirements of the assignment. For improvement on the revision, concentrate on thesis writing and organization. Currently, this paper lacks an argumentative thesis. It’s also missing a clear focus: the essay moves from topic to topic without a clear goal.” Please take that into consideration when writing the new revised argumentative essay. Here are the instructions from the professor
Complete the following questions. Once you’ve completed questions 1-4, use that material to articulate an argumentative thesis statement. If all goes well, the answer you come up with will be the basis of your essay.
Define your focus: What is your paper about? Try to be as specific as possible. For example, if your paper is about love, tell your reader how and why love interests you.
Define your argument: What unique point of view do you want to bring to your topic? Think about your audience: what is the main thing you want your reader to know about your topic after reading your paper. Define that “thing” and foreground it in your introduction.
Define the counterargument: What is the anti-thesis to your point of view? There may be more than one. Counterarguments are helpful because they give us a contrasting point of view. Through this contrasting point of view, we sharpen our argument.
What evidence must you look at to support your argument? Write out the line numbers for 2-3 essential passages. What is implicit in your evidence that you will make explicit to your reader?
Now that you’ve completed questions 1-4, you are ready to write an argumentative thesis statement. A thesis should answer what your paper is about, how you will analyze it, and why it is essential. Try answering each of these questions with the work you’ve done above: the “what” is your focus; the “how” is the specific evidence you will examine, and the “why” is your unique point of view.
Think of your thesis as the sum of these parts. The goal is to be as transparent as possible about your unique point of view: What will your reader learn from your paper that they won’t discover elsewhere?
A thesis statement should contain the following:
What?
What do you want to show the reader that isn’t immediately obvious about the text? What is your unique view?
How?
How does your unique interpretation emerge from the text? How does the text evidence—through specific images, words, or ideas—your point of view?
Why?
Why is your interpretation important? What will the reader learn from reading your essay that they won’t learn elsewhere?
The last thing is I need to use a one relevant peer-reviewed article. I think google scholar will be a good place to find a peer-reviewed article.
That is all.
