Wouldn't this mostly be considered a historical question?
I understand that it is writing, but I think you could get more accurate replies by putting it under the history category.
Its perfect!!!! Good job no explanation needed
Answer:
Four teenage refugees from Bosnia talk to UPDATE about the hardships of life during wartime, and the experience of escaping to America. The war in the Balkans has caused grievous suffering for millions of people. ... And nearly 25 percent of all the refugees created by the war are between the ages of 10 and 17.
The tone is Ironic and Cynical.
Yes, it is. When writing an argumentative essay, you are arguing for one side of the topic. For the counterclaim, you want to address the opposing view. In the same sentence, you want to explain why the opposing side is wrong (aka the rebuttal). The format is usually like this:
Though some may believe _______, in actuality (your viewpoint here) is correct because (evidence here).
Usually when writing a counterclaim and rebuttal, it is included at the end of the third paragraph of a five paragraph essay. Make sure you definitely end the third paragraph with a concluding sentence that relates to the topic sentence of that paragraph though.
