Brief outline of the essay related to North Korea's nuclear test.

Topic: How should the U.S deal with North Korea's nuclear                             test?   


Thesis: The U.S should take stronger action against ongoing North Korea's nuclear test. 

Argument 1. North Korea has abandoned every possible diplomatic negotiation in order to continue 
                   its Nuclear test. 

Supporting details: 
While the U.S and South Korea have attempted to negotiate with North Korea by guaranteeing multi-national food aids, the new leader of North Korea, Kim Jeong-un, has refused to listen to global invocation  and demonstrated further possibility of conducting more nuclear tests. 
Since food-aid no longer works as an effective measures, the U.S should carry out stronger action in order to prevent further provocations.

Argument 2. North Korea is planning to manufacture more explosive and threatening nuclear                
                   weapons 

Supporting details: 
According to KNCA news agency, the North Korea has begun to use plutonium to make miniaturized, lighter nuclear device that can be suitable to be attached on a nuclear missile. 
Furthermore, Kim Jeong-un has been eager to secure more financial investment in order to boost nuclear test while showing no tendency of submitting in to negotiations. As North Korea has managed to manufacture a long-ranged missile in December 2012, North Korea's nuclear technology will become more threatening when there are no resolutions for ongoing nuclear tests.

  1. Good outline, but as said in class we need "you" in this essay to avoid a dry re-hash of news articles for a plain old argumentative essay.

    Your topic states "the US" should be stronger against NK. So, it would seem you are comfortable, or even welcoming, of the role the US takes in your country against NK. Is this a typical opinion of students your age? How have you been taught to view US presence in SK?

    Don't be afraid to "hook" the reader with YOUR personal experience and opinion and HOW that opinion resulted.

    Good start.
