"The Penny" Analysis

http://www.teenink.com/opinion/all/article/9920/The-Penny/





The title of this article is "The Penny". I found this article on the website http://www.teenink.com/. The author of the article is Paul S., the last name is not stated. The opening paragraph does contain a thesis and the thesis is to take penny's out of the money system because they are useless. The opening paragraph did catch my attention because it is written about money and I really like money. The article contains three paragraphs. All of the paragraphs do relate to the thesis because all three paragraphs are written about the penny and what it serves for. No the writer does not use information or any other sources to prove their point it is just proven by the way it is written. The writer does not present other sides to the argument it is only about one thing and that is taking the penny out of the money system. The writer has convinces me that the penny is worthless because a penny can't buy you nothing anymore. Something else that the writer could have mentioned to help back up his statement is that the penny is only worth a cent and it isn't worth making. I cannot think of a counter argument that the writer could have used. I did find the conclusion effective because it is the way it is worded. Ad it is: "When was the last time you bought something with a penny or countes out pennies to buy something? I thougth so." I did not find any grammar or spelling errors while reading the article. I did like the article because of the way it was worded.
