Essay 3 Reflection

I’d say I did an okay job of building my credibility throughout essay 3. I chose good sources that either were strongly in favor of the argument I was making or they were neutral on the Deforestation. I conducted a lot of research and the sources I did choose had a lot of information and these sources supplied me with the knowledge necessary to make this essay on deforestation. Also I did appeal to a wide audience in my essay and I conceded to an opposing viewpoint in my essay. The solution of making better use of the land we have already and supporting to plant more trees and make more environmentally friendly choices is ethical. Overall my essay was written in the correct format and used proper vocabulary. My essay logically did appeal to reason as deforestation is an issue in which everyone will lose because forests do make a portion of the worlds oxygen and by cutting down forests it is not helping our planet. I’d personally say that the evidence provided to back up my claims was enough. The overall structure of my paper seemed to flow in order from claim to the next. I didn’t include fallacies or contradictions in the essay. I believe I did a great job of appealing to emotions in my paper through the use of animals because I think most people would like to help animals rather than hurt them. Also I appealed to emotions the use of others being affected by this and in a way it says that it could be anyone in this scenario. I also appealed to emotions through the use of my call to action. Overall I believe I did a good job on this essay although it was a bit tough to find opposing arguments for deforestation. Once I did find something to work with it was easier.
