Discussion Topic Everyone has strong opinions, so opinion essays are usually not hard to do. Executing this type of essay well demands that you understand audience well and know what arguments, and what tone, will best sway them. Look for opinion articles, one you with which you agree with and one with which you disagree. Analyze both to see how even the opinion that “offends” you uses persuasive writing techniques. Write a paragraph about how the writer you disagree with tried to appeal to an audience (not only those who agree with him or her, but also the ‘undecideds’).

1) earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) the plates are called tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) they can move because earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) plates may also collide. (8) when that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) for example, the collision of the plate carrying the indian subcontinent created the himalayan mountains when it collided with the asian plate. which statement about this paragraph is accurate?
