Ok so i need a clincher for an agrumentative writing homework, but i dont know what a clincher is. could someone help really quick? here is what i wrote so far: Claim: Teens should be able to play dangerous sports. There are more positives than the negatives. The first reason is that the teen could make a bunch of money in the future. The second reason is that the children can develop physical courage

Reason 1: The first reason is that it could make the teen a lot of money in the future. Reason 1 evidence: en. as. com states that the average salary for professional football players is 867,000 dollars! For a newbie the starting salary is 483,000 dollars. That’s more than a Nasa engineer salary which is 50-150k a year. This is much more money than the average middle class salary.

Reason 2: The second (and last) reason is that it could help the kids develop a strong physical courage. Reason 2 evidence: ethicsofsports. com states, “The benefits of developing a child’s self-affirmation through participation in a dangerous sport are evident. They expand personal boundaries and develop instrumental goods such as physical courage. The risks are worth the rewards in your child’s development.”

Counter claim: But there are also many downsides to playing dangerous sports. It could lead to you dying early. Rebuttal: Cbc. ca states, “If your child plays any of these high impact, high contact, coalition sports and receives repeated blows to the head. your child is more likely to die before the age of 42 through violent means," says Dr. Omalu.

Conclusion: So, this is why teens should be able to play dangerous sports. The first of the two main points is that they can make lots of money. And the second point is that teens can develop physical courage. Clincher:

So the example of a clincher is the summarization of the main ideas or the more important feelings at the end of the closing paragraph and shows when the essay or story is done.

Explanation:

( I think you should redo the conclusion this is my opinion )

Conclusion, Overall the reason why teens should be able to play dangerous sports is that they can develop physical courage while making a lot of money. ( I think this would also be a part of the clincher because it express your view point and feelings )

I hope iv helped

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
