Thanks for the advice! I will try to make my argument flow better next time.

I meant that it would increase the amount of consumers viewing the movie. I get the part about adding the percentage to enhance the example.

You get thirty minutes to reply to do an argument essay and 30 minutes to do a issue essay. So too much outlining and brainstorming is out of the question.

They are okay with (instructed to overlook) simple grammatical mistakes, but not too many if it takes away from the reading (as you suggest this did).

The original prompt for this one was (paraphrased):

Surveys show that less people were in attendance to the Super Screen Movie Production than last year. Reviews, however, are more positive than last year. This shows that there is no problem in movie qualities but that potential consumers are not being exposed to available movies. Therefore, the advertising director of the Super Screen Movie Production Company suggests that the company allocate a greater share of the companies budget to advertising next year.

Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.

Thanks for taking the time to read through the essay!
