Players compete in huge arenas, cheered on by thousands of screaming fans, with millions of dollars in prize money at stake. Top competitors must endure grueling training regimens, but also enjoy soaring salaries and corporate endorsement deals. We’re not talking about basketball or football here, but the elite world of professional gaming. What people are talking about is the new designation of “esports” to the competitive video game circuit. Compose an argument that presents what you believe in response to the statement that video games are the newest sport available to potential competitors. Use appropriate evidence from your reading, experience, or observations to support your argument.

Evidence (for Rebuttal)Thesis Prompt: Guns, daggers and other toy weapons have long been excised from costumes at many school celebrations on Halloween. But in some classrooms across the country, the interpretation of what is too scary — or offensive, gross or saddening — is now also leading to an abundance of caution and some prohibitions that force students to create positive images through their costumes. In a school district in Illinois, students are being encouraged to dress up as historical characters or delicious food items rather than vampires or zombies. In Texas, a school has issued suggestions for “positive costumes” for the annual Halloween dance. In Los Angeles, the Halloween parades at schools are being defanged right down to its jagged fingertips. Compose an argument that presents what you believe in response to the statement that Halloween costumes should only portray positive images. Use appropriate evidence from your reading, experience, or observations to support your argument.
