The Toulmin Argument

You did an excellent job of explaining all the aspects of the Toulmin argument, which gives me and the rest of your audience total clarity. Where you go into depth of what each paragraph is for and entails, which is very helpful. In which I totally agree with all of your explanation of what is supposed to be included in the Toulmin argument, when writing an essay. Therefore, the depth that you write about the Toulmin argument is useful, along with being valuable to your audience. However, with your explanation of the example, I thought that it could be more specific. Since the example you choose is a more hypothetical one, rather than an example from modern day politicians or one from an actual company. In addition, I think it would be more

interesting to see your actual opinion on the Toulmin argument instead of just stating what is inside of the model. For example, you could write about what sections of the Toulmin model help you map out your argument. Despite in your response, in my opinion, not including enough about your own personal view on this model your response was still a helpful one for myself and others. Since you provide a thorough explanation of what a Toulmin argument, myself and others feel knowledgeable about it. All in all you do a substantial job in explaining the outline of the Toulmin argument, however I thought you could have made your example more specific and state more of your opinion.
