Quotation Excercise

In my English 101 class last semester I had to write an argumentative essay. My topic for that paper was Hoodie Allen, a white rapper that many people called a "frat" rapper. My goal in the essay was to argue against all the critics that thought he should be classified under that category. In the essay I quoted some of the critics that would say negative things about him and the reasons they believed he belonged under that category. Their quotes helped my paper because it showed their emotion toward this artist and it gave me a way to argue my reasons for why I felt like they were wrong. I also had a second time where I quoted the artist himself. It was helpful for me to do that because it backed up my reasons as to why he was too good of an artist to be put under such a unworthy music category.
