Between Slaughterhouse-Five and Hiroshima, which of those texts is a more effective anti-war text?
It is imperative for this essay that you take a stand. You are welcome to concede some points if that helps your argument (say, Hiroshima is more effective overall but Slaughterhouse-Five does have some elements it achieves more effectively), but ultimately you should arrive at a single text as more effective. Note also that you should use evidence from both texts, likely in comparison to each other.
i would like to argue that slaughterhouse five is the more effective anti war book
Part of the purpose of this essay is to effectively take a definitive stance. Remember that you are not limited in your argument to only ideas that you personally find compelling, but what is most useful to your argument. Taking a clear, bold stance will be more effective than trying to argue on the overall merits of both texts.
All aspects of “more effective” are available to use here. If you wish, feel free to include ideas not just from the texts but also from their publication – when were they published? How widely read are they? Who is the intended audience? Those questions of context and purpose are just as useful for you as the content of the texts themselves.
