respond to the following questions in an initial post to this discussion board:

  • What is Soraya Roberts’s central claim – the main argumentative position she is putting forward?
  • What are the most convincing grounds for Roberts’s claim — the support she uses (evidence, examples, illustrations, etc.)?
  • What are the warranting assumptions for Roberts’s main argument, do you think? What ideas are left unstated that connect the claim and grounds?
  • Overall, what assumptions does Roberts make that you agree with? Why? Are there any assumptions she makes that you do not agree with or find unacceptable?

Note: you do not have to answer each of these questions word for word, but your response overall should show that you are considering all of the questions carefully.
