5. “ If they don’t want me, well I guess I am nothing”

Barbara Haworth Attard has a negative perspective of teen issues in her novel Theories of Relativity. How I relate my thesis to my quotation is that I got quote from the story “ If they don’t want me, well I guess I am nothing”. It indicates that a teen is talking about his family and he thinks his family doesn’t want and decide to be homeless. This is another teen issue and support to my thesis or Barbara Haworth Attard’s opinion.

    525 Words  | 3 Pages

    To create a strong argument, creative techniques must be employed in any piece of writing. Two common techniques are methods of development and rhetorical devices. In Elizabeth Kolbert’s writing of “The Terrible Teens”, she effectively proves her argument with the use of these techniques. Specifically, Kolbert uses examples, appeal to authority, and, inside the latter, metaphors to further support the argument. Using these strategies she successfully proves that neurology can help us understand why teens do unwise things, and that we are unsure what to do about it.
