ISSUE ESSAY PROBLEM, EXPERT HELP

by thanghnvn Thu Apr 21, 2011 5:31 am

I can easily brainstorm 3 assumptions to write an arguement essay but find hard to find reason/examples to write an issue essay.

anyone has any suggestions, ple help

Can I give and analize only 3 examples(NO REASONS) to support my opinion in the issue essay? some times I feel hard to brainstorm reasons and want to use ONLY EXAMPLES. IS THIS POSSIBLE?

The issue essay should be primarily about examples - actual things that have happened in the real world, and that you can use to support your position.

Sometimes you can only think of a hypothetical (Well, if an executive were to spend too much time criticizing employees, that would hurt the employees' morale) - just turn that into a real situation. Write about it as though it really happened to you or someone you know.
