Week 6 - Introductions and Conclusions

"WIU Copyrighted Material Removed at Their Request"

For Smiley's paper she used the entire first paragraph to convey her thesis statement, and thus her persuasive argument.  The impact of her introduction, and thus her argument, is shock; almost as if Smiley is being satirical.  The introduction definitely, and immediately, draws the reader's attention due to the absurdity of the proposal.  Smiley ends her paper with a very logical, and well reasoned, conclusion.  The impact of that type of conclusion was very persuasive; furthermore, the conclusion type is very appropriate for a thesis that could be extremely controversial to a majority of her readers.
