Essay: Analyzing Sherry Turkle's Argument on Empathy
Question 1
In your essay, analyze how Sherry Turkle constructs an argument to convince her audience that empathy is a uniquely human experience. To develop your argument, consider how Turkle employs the following strategies (or strategies of your own selection) to enhance the logic and persuasiveness of her argument: 1. Evidence, such as facts or examples, to support claims. 2. Reasoning to develop ideas and to connect claims to evidence. 3. Stylistic or persuasive elements, such as word choice or appeals to emotion, to add power to the ideas expressed.
Your task is to write 2-3 body paragraphs (minimum of 5 sentences per paragraph) using the PEEL writing method (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link). Remember, each component does not necessarily represent one sentence. You must provide evidence, in-text citations, and solid explanations.
Please note that your essay should not discuss whether you agree with Turkle's claims, but rather, it should explain how she builds an argument to persuade her audience. Craft your body paragraphs on a Google Doc.
