You have identified the claim and reason in the passage. Write a few sentences explaining what the author will have to do in the rest of the book to develop a truly strong viewpoint.
In order to develop a truly strong view point, the author will have to explain the importance of the Rosetta Stone after he states the importance. Give a back story to the stone's origins and talk more about the riddle of the Rosetta stone. The author has to apply his connections to why he titled the excerpt "The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone" since he did not defy a riddle nor state a backstory to this famous rock. Giblin will have to inform his readers to develop a strong viewpoint mainly because he brings no evidence and produces no citation. The reader must take his word and his knowledge and apply it to their personal views on the Rosetta Stone.
Sample Response: The author will need to include evidence, like facts and examples, to support why the Rosetta Stone is so important. He will also need to show that he has thought about the counterclaim.
