Outline #1

Weakness: A weakness that outlines 1had to me was the instant change in viewpoints. I did not expect that after reading the claim.

Strength: All though the viewpoints change as you get further through the outline, it does mention the opposing side. Outline 1 also covers each supporting detail in the claim with more specific details through the outline.

Outline 2

Weakness: Outline 2 seems very disorganized. the claim/thesis isnt properly worded. In my opinion outline 2 does not have a strong stem to it. Also, it does not refute the opposing side.

Strength: Outline 2 has strong supporting details. 

I believe outline 1 is stronger because the claim sets a foundation/structure for the paper. the outline covers each section of the claim in deeper detail. Outline number 1 also mentions the opposing side point. As I read the claim for outline 1 I knew what to expect from the outline and the essay. It is very well structured and organized as opposed to outline 2.
