What is a sub-argument? Please give an example.
Sub-arguments are some ideological viewpoints subordinate to and used to elaborate the central argument. In argumentative writing, arguments are also very important, and each argument needs to be demonstrated. Any argument that is proved to be effective becomes a powerful argument at the center of the argument.

Examples are as follows:

Cocoon is not a shackle you put on yourself, but a road to success (central argument).

1, (sub-argument 1) Take setbacks as cocoons and breed strength.

2. (Sub-argument 2) Taking tolerance as a cocoon, it breeds fraternity.

3. (Sub-argument 3) Taking etiquette as the cocoon, it breeds honesty.

If analyzed from the logical relationship of the content of the article, the specific structural forms of argumentative essays can be divided into two categories:

vertical

Discuss the structure layer by layer.

Example 1, "layer by layer" type, first put forward the argument, then demonstrate step by step, gradually expand the truth, and finally summarize.

Example 2, "positive and negative argument" type: first put forward the argument, first demonstrate it from the negative side, and then further discuss it from the positive side.

horizontal

Discussion structure of parallel expansion

For example:

1, there is a type of "general theory-sub-theory-general theory", first put forward the argument, then elaborate it from several aspects, and finally summarize it.

2, there is a "total-divided theory" type, first put forward the argument, and then demonstrate it from several aspects.

3. There is a style of "divided theory-general theory", and the things to be discussed are always analyzed in several aspects, and then a comprehensive conclusion is drawn.

In a word, to analyze the structure of an argumentative essay, we should first understand the internal relationship between paragraph levels, and also pay attention to the transitional paragraphs, transitional sentences and transitional words that serve as a link between the preceding and the following.
