Analyzing Arguments


The thesis in the text “The Early Bird Gets the Bad Grade” is that conform the teenagers biological schedule having class 8 a.m. is not productive. As premises the writer uses result of studies that say that according to the teenagers’ schedule they just can sleep around 11 p.m. and should wake up after 8 a.m. because of the hormone melatonin. In my opinion the classes should start later, according to the biological schedule of the teenagers, improving the revenue of the first class.

 The premises are accurate, the arguments are valid, and the conclusion is true in the text. In the argumentation the writer give arguments that support his ideas very well, and his conclusion is really logical. Concluding his argumentation is really persuasive.
