Sections of the Paper

• Introduction: The plan for the beginning of my paper is to give a bit of background on the subject of stem cells and talk a bit about the author the Witherspoon council.  Then I will connect my introduction to my thesis with some kind of transitional sentence.
• Thesis: With the use persuasive writing through evidence and the ability to firmly drive their argument towards their readers, the Witherspoon Council is able to craft a intricate argument for the use of Stem Cells in research.  The rhetorical strategies to logically back their arguments makes their writing more trustworthy and ultimately leads to a better case for their cause.
• The body paragraphs:  For the first body paragraph I am going to start with the purpose of the piece and the point the author is trying to get across.  This is significant because it helps set a foundation for my next couple of paragraphs.  The second paragraph is going to be focused on the audience and how the author attempts to connect with them.  The third paragraph is going to be about the appeal to logic and how the author uses this strategy effectively.  The fourth paragraph is going to be about the strategies that work for this type of writing and how they are effective in other speeches for this type of field.  The final body paragraph is going to contain what makes a good argument for my field by using all of the examples in the earlier parts of my paper.
• Analytical Claims:  The author uses logic to firmly push the idea about how stem cells are ethical.  Also something that is noticed is that they go back and forth between events that were against stem cell research and then ultimately showing why they were wrong and why they should look at what stem cells are like now then how we have viewed them in the past.  They essentially tell the readers that they can't really go against the ethics of stem cells because they can't disprove their support. Cause they would be wrong.
• The support for each claim:  There are a variety of ways I can support the claims I have made and I will use a couple of them for this paper specifically when the author is talking about Embryotic cells and the controversy behind them.  The reason why I want to use this as a support is that it signifies the appeal to logic because the author basically says that well if this type of cell is frowned upon we will find another way to acquire stem cells and they do which shows how they want to persuade the reader.
• The conclusion is going to wrap up what I said throughout the paper and then restate my thesis.
