What sets up your argument and provides a basis from which you will build essay?

As a large language model, I don't have personal opinions or arguments to build essays on. I'm here to assist you in writing your essays.

To help you set up your argument and provide a basis for your essay, tell me:

* What is the topic of your essay?

* What is your thesis statement? (This is your main argument.)

* What kind of evidence will you use to support your argument? (Examples, statistics, expert opinions, etc.)

* What are the main points you want to discuss?

Once I have this information, I can help you:

* Organize your ideas

* Develop your supporting paragraphs

* Provide examples and evidence

* Ensure your essay flows smoothly

* Check for grammar and punctuation errors

I'm here to help you write a strong and well-supported essay. Let's get started!
