summary

First of all here is my thesis statement

After reviewing literature on the two platforms and considering my own experience, I

am going to argue that the Android phone is superior to the Iphone. This conclusion is based on our main points: phone’s ease of use, ability to be purchased/pricing, choice of hardware, and ability to run applications.

I chose the topic of the Android phone vs. the iPhone. I  felt that this was a pertinent subject as many consumers today have to look at the reasons to buy either phone. My main arguments are the Android phone is easier to use, has a lower price with a higher ability to purchase, has a wider variety of hardward, and is able to run more applications than the iPhone.

Style

One of the approaches to style that seemed to hit home for me was writing sentences in order, and trying not to “overwrite” a sentence. Many times I will write the paragraph that I am thinking of, and then will go back and read it aloud. I find that by reading it aloud, it lets me find natural pauses that I can use to re-write the paragraph to make it flow more smoothly. This also falls into the writing what comes naturally, that by speaking it aloud it helps the flow to be more natural in nature. A final reminder was not putting in opinions in your essay. In the first couple of essays we wrote, it was definitely true to not put opinion. However in my persuasive paper, I utilized my opinion to aid in my research of the topic. I found credible sources to back up what I felt was true and this helped to strengthen my paper.
