Document Summary
How to write an argument analysis paper reason to accept the conclusion. If you think the argument is good, however, that. This can done by adducing further evidence to support a premise (just be careful. The basic gist of an argument analysis is to clearly present the argument of a text, and then to analyze it and see whether or not you agree with the argument. So there are two steps: state the argument, premise by premise, and attempt to explain why the author thinks those premises are true, and why he or she thinks that the conclusion follows from those premises. The second step is then to agree or disagree with the argument, to say whether you think it is good or bad, and why you think this. One way to point out that an argument is bad is by providing a counterexample to a premise, or in some other way provide evidence that a premise is false.
