This is usually described in less than two sentences. subject, since that’s why the reader is going to keep reading. Without this or enough research done for your statement your essay can be confusing.

The mid-term basically asks to do all the words I just defined, research, claim, evidence, and argument. The subject were studying is whether people that grew up watching TV makes them more dangerous/violent than people who rarely watch TV. I can agree that TV does make people more violent than people who don’t watch TV. I’m actually not sure how I’m going to prove this statement yet, but I can use the internet, the book freakonomics , and people in my surrounding I guess.
