 For my argument essay, I mad an outline stating my argument, listing my reasons and showing my evidence on the negative aspects of rap and pop country. After backing up my argument about the negative side of rap and pop country, I followed the same steps to state the positive aspect of rap and pop country.  In my conclusion, while still feeling strongly about my argument, I wanted to show that I do see things from both sides. I do see the glass half empty and half full.         

 In my first draft, I used the feedback of my instructor and I made the necessary changes that were needed to be made so that my evidence could be sourced properly.  I changed my font style and size and fix my header to basic MLA format.  I omitted unnecessary items, correct spellings, and clarified thoughts that wasn’t clear enough.  As of my works cited page, it was all wrong. So I completely rewrote the entire work cited page so that I could properly cite my sources and fixed my margins so that everything was aligned properly.                                                             

 For assignment three, I wrote an argumentative essay comparing rap and pop country. I’m this essay, I’m talking about the pros and cons of rap music and pop music and how they affect our youth. My intended audience is mainly towards young girls. However, I do briefly pint out how rap lyrics affect our young guys as well.
