Cats are boring. All they do is sleep and eat.Which is why dogs make more exciting pets.
This argument is not good because it doesn't say how dogs would be more exciting. Also, this doesn't clarify anything about kittens who are usually full of energy and like to play just as much as dogs do. This current argument is strong or valid either because the statements may not be true to everybody. Some people may find the calmness of a cat to be just as exciting as the dogs who are hyper. To repair this argument we would first need to make it strong. We can do that by making it a personal argument having the speaker say, "I want an animal that likes to run around and have constant attention. So I would rather have a dog because as cats age they mostly like to lounge around and sleep making them boring."
Hey.
ReplyDeleteI can completely relate to the argument you have put forward. I do own a dog, but I also do get the fact that cats are as good as dogs. Now, for the argument itself, it was clear, and understandable. I had a tough time thinking about an argument. Your arguments seems to match the description perfectly. I also like the way you presented the argument, and then gave it its flaws. After giving its missing points, you provided the solution to repair it, in this case : a personal example, to fill in those gaps. Overall, it was a good example and a good fix up :).
Yes, I agree because personally I think cats are more exciting. Like you said, it would make more sense if you were to add what you think makes a pet "exciting." Your example said that a person may find animals that run around and have constant attention "exciting" to them. But for others, some may find cats more exciting for whatever reason. If you were to add this to an argument, it would explain more clearly on why you would think a dog is exciting. Or like you mentioned in the end, you could also say what makes a cat more boring than a dog. Other than that, not adding an explanation to a claim will make the argument weak and not strong.
