Prompt #25:
Write ten timeless truths you have learned. You should express each truth in one masterful sentence that reflects its essence.
Be as general or as specific as you wish.
Prompt #25 – Challenge:
Select one of the timeless truth sentences you have written. It is your thesis. Prove that it is an accurate reflection of reality.
Use the Classical Argument model as your structure:
- Introduction
- Background
- Thesis
- Confirmations
- Concession
- Refutation
- Conclusion
If you haven’t written a classical argument recently, you can find an in-depth explanation from our BFFs at Purdue OWL as a refresher.
This exercise can be brief—just a couple of paragraphs. Or you can take a deep dive. It’s up to you.
You don’t have to support your argument with research, but you can.
You are allowed to trace your steps through life and use your experiences as proof of this truth.
