Lets analyze the Toulmin way

·         Claim: My claim is that smaller people get better clothes. There are a lot of fashion choices for those who fit the media’s criteria of beautiful which are sizes smaller than 10 or 6. Plus size women get the shorter end of the stick. Some companies refuse to make clothes that go higher in sizes because they don’t want plus size women wearing their clothes. I put these claims together to show everyone how cruel the companies are being and to tell plus size women who feel that the reason why their sizes are never there is not because they sold out but because they purposely don’t have their size.

·         Data:  The data I use is my personal experience with how I can’t find clothes sometimes. Also my mother who wants to wear nice clothes but has to settle for plain looking clothing because she is plus size and the companies don’t make pretty clothes for plus size women. I also have quotes and from Abercrombie’s CEO when he said they stop at size 10 because their clothes are only for the cool skinny kids.

·         Warrants – the quotes and the ways the sizes stop show that stores don’t really cater nor care for plus size

·         Authority – I am a plus size girl my family is plus size I put my anger and my families frustration in my writing I share my experience and try to express myself as best I can

·         Rebuttal : People might tell me that I’m overreacting over coincidences or I don’t know how to shop and that it’s only a onetime thing. They might also tell me do you know other people than yourself who have a problem like this.

·         My Response to those rebuttals would be no I’m not overreacting and it’s not a coincidence. It can’t be a coincidence that my mother and I struggle to find clothes or that the sizes stop at a certain size all the time. If they tell me I don’t know how to shop I would ask them is it right for a certain store to not have my size because I’m plus size, so its justified that I have to search all over for clothes?  I also can argue I know more than enough people have the same problem as me it’s not just a problem centered on me it is a plus size women problem.
