The Enslavement of the Homeless. A preface for this assignment. I was supposed to talk about a controversial topic, something that I could argue for or against. As an additional challenge, I was to argue against the opinion I viewed as correct. For example, If I believe that Abortion should be legal, my project should be about why Abortion should be illegal. So I chose Homelessness for my project. An Argumentative Essay. It turned into an Argument for a Proposal, which my teacher accepted.
