Argument Analysis Thesis Statement Practice

Read the quote and directions in Question a. As the AI provides feedback, revise until you get the full point for your thesis. Remember with your lines of reasoning and your evidence, specificity is important.

The late Barbara Jordan, a former United States representative, once warned: “[T]his is the great danger America faces—that we will cease to be one nation and become instead a collection of interest groups: city against suburb, region against region, individual against individual; each seeking to satisfy private wants.”
Write a response with a thesis and bullet points of 2 pieces of evidence for each line of reasoning that supports your position on Jordan’s claim that “private wants” threaten national identity.
In your response you should do the following:
• Respond to the prompt with a thesis that presents a defensible position with 2-3 lines of reasoning.
• Provide bullet points of 2 pieces of evidence per line of reasoning to support each line of reasoning.
