An argument is simply a short summary of the book. It resembles an abstract for an academic paper or thesis but is shorter.

Thanks harry, but I'm not reading a book. My teacher assigned different controversial topics to write an argument about. For example, animal rights. How would you construct an argument for that? Should I state all my opinions first, and have the last paragraphs be about the other side's opinion. Or, for each paragraph shoul dI put my opinion AND theres.

(*sorry if that was confusing Smile)

If you have to show the pro and con it would be best to make 2 columns. Left is pro and right is con and this way the reader can more easily follow. If you have to take only one side then you can give the pros and cons and end it with your opinion and argument to support your opinion.
