Analysis and Argumentative Essay – Counterargument & Rebuttal

Analysis and Argument.

For your second essay, you must pick a song with lyrics to analyze, figure out who the intended audience is, and then tell me how the song was either successful and unsuccessful at reaching out to their target audience. Furthermore, you must include a counterargument, which is an argument that goes against your main evaluation, and a rebuttal to your counterargument, which will tell me why your main evaluation is still more convincing than your counterargument (essentially, tell me how an opponent of your argument could tell you that you are wrong, and what you would say to that opponent).
