American New Deal, Stock Market, Rising Unemployment

The argument is due 11/17 at midnight.



I would first want to address what is required for this paper that is not in the directions. I must have a thesis statement at the end of the first paragraph an example of this thesis statement is this: "Cheeseburgers are the best food for a meal since they lead restaurant sales, are popular with average Americans, and have wholesome ingredients." Three points supporting your argument. One introduction paragraph and three paragraphs talking about each point you listed in your thesis statement and one conclusion summing up the three paragraphs and must include the thesis statement.
