For my argument of definition essay, I am using a middle style.  The middle style is best used when writing an essay which is being read by an educated audience.  The middle style allows the author to express their views in an educated manner without sounding pompous or unintelligent. 

The middle style would best be incorporated for this particular paper because the audience does not expect to read an essay authored for a scholarly journal.  Thus, it would be improper to use a high style.  Low style is meant for very informal scenarios and since this paper is graded that would also be inappropriate. 

My essay is dedicated to discussing conspiracy theory.  So, In my essay, the emotions I would like to convey would be: passion to inspire change and curiosity which could  then be used in search of a deeper understanding of events happening in the world around us. 

I attempt to use various methods of transitions, but not every one of my transitions fit to make my paper as seamless as possible.  I need to strengthen my transitional phrases in order to make my paper flow better.  I try to create a rhythm by introducing and detailing the background of each fact-based claim before displaying my supporting evidence.  I do not use much figurative speech, but it is a technique I should include in order to strengthen the argument of my paper.  Figurative language could help sway the reader to the point I am making by touching on issues the reader may be sensitive to.  If an author can find common ground with their readers they are inevitably more likely to produce an effective argument.
