The “Point” and “Counterpoint” authors offer two points of view regarding whether celebrities are heroes. Both offer reasons and evidence to support their claims. If you trace and evaluate the argument of each author, which author is most convincing? Which author most effectively uses reasons and evidence to support his or her claim? Is each claim fully supported by reasons and evidence? If not, which aspect of the particular claim remains unsupported? Use your understanding of purpose and point of view as you evaluate the argument in each passage. Support your opinion with textual evidence.
