What do i want to know about argument papers

I really dont have any questions when it comes to argument papers except for if we should have them be opiniated and how much detail are we supposed to go into on the opposite view of are argument. I know in my paper i only make 1 or 2 statements on their point of view and then go directly into my argument. I would also like to know where in my paper im supposed to put it. I would also like to know where i am supposed to put the history of abortion in my paper.

Audience for my Argument

The audience for my argument would be women who are pregnant and thinking about abortion. The main person i would try to convince not to is 18 year old Betty Sue. She got pregnant with her high school prom date and she wants to go to college. She is scared that if she has the baby she wont be able to go to college because she will have to raise the baby and doesnt know if the father will help. She doesnt follow a religion closely so she wouldnt have to worry about going against it.

Fallacy

The fallacy I tend to use the most is the appeal to authority. When i make arguments I will usually agree with someone who has a lot of knowledge or authority on a certain subject. Even though he could be wrong i still use it for an argument because i think he's right. Appeal to popularity is another one i tend to use because if i use something that a popular person said i will have a lot more people agree with my argument then the other.

Personal Essays

The thing i liked the most about personal essays is that there is no research involved. All you have to do for the essay is just reflect on your own experiences. Its nice to everyonce in a while just to write about yourself. So having no research involved was the best and not having to worry about work cited page was also nice.
What i hated the most about writing personal essays is just trying to remember stuff about an experience. After 10 years you can forget about how you felt over a certain experience. But other than that their isnt a lot that i hate about personal essays.
