For an argument paper, the main thing to keep in mind is that most of the body-paragraph will be your words, assertions, and beliefs.

Do not use personal stories to argue your viewpoint unless you can stay professional and in 3rd person voice.

An essay is the combination of paragraphs
for one uniting purpose of explaining, informing, describing, or arguing an
overall point. As adults, writers are expected to write professionally, with
