<p>Hey guys, </p>
<p>I remember reading somewhere, can't remember where exactly, that instead of making 3 points as to why your thesis/argument is right, you should instead include one example of how not following the thesis is detrimental/bad. What are your thoughts on this? Is this a good way to add depth to an essay?</p>
<p>The third example can go either way. If you’re not using it as a third opportunity to support your thesis, the best option is to take an example that one might think would disprove your argument, then prove that this is false, thus proving your argument further. </p>
<p>If you want to say that chocolate is the best flavor, you can use two examples of why it’s the best flavor, then on the third example… “Some would argue that chocolate ice cream is not the best flavor because it does not pair well with apple pie, a classic american dessert. However, the ice cream in that situation is not the main dish, but simply a garnish. Chocolate ice cream would be out of place because it is complex and must be the star of the dessert, while the more simple vanilla is at home as a garnish.”</p>
<p>Does that make sense?</p>
<p>Yeah that makes sense @LisaCF Thanks!!!</p>
