As an argumentative (vs. descriptive) essay, your final paper needs to put forward and
support your overall position with respect to the recent work you have chosen and your
topic. Your thesis statement should be something on which scholars could reasonably
disagree (vs. being trivial/obvious/already generally accepted) and therefore require
argumentation. This should be manageable within the essay length. Note, as part of your
essay you will need to engage arguments found in the current article you have
chosen (either critiquing arguments made if they run counter to your thesis or
defending these arguments against possible objections of your own or others (if they
support your thesis)). In your essay you should have an introductory paragraph with a
definite thesis, a structured set of arguments, and a concluding paragraph.
