Note how the author begins her essay. How does she engage our attention in the beginning? The author tells a short story and gives a description of her friend Sue. She engages our attention by telling the story and giving an example of who Facebook friends really are. 2. Because this isnt an academic essay, there doesnt appear to be a thesis up front. How can this be? If the paragraph explains it, it implies what the thesis is. The first paragraph explains what this story will be about. 3. What is her main point? Where does it appear? Thats why Facebook works best as an amplification of a real life social life, not a replacement- even as time and technology progress and the lines between online interactions and real-world experiences continue to blur. That is the authors main point and it appears in the last paragraph. 4. Can this structure blur the line between an argument and an exploratory essay? Yes, this structure can blur the line between an argument and an exploratory essay.
