Use the revisedthesis, based on your classmates’ and teacher’s feedback as the basisfor your persuasive paper. Use your sources to support your thesis.

Apply pathos, logos, and ethos whenever possible.Finally, remember that it’s okay if your ideas, opinions, or sourceschange during process of writing this paper. Writing makes us think,and it’s fine – even beneficial – to have our thoughts change as weexpress them on paper.My thesis was the following Topic Selection The topic that I finally choose is;Interpreters in court do/do not influence verdicts and sentencing.Interpreters play a key role in the course of the hearing of cases, andthus they are likely to influence the sentence given and the verdict ofthe case. Since the interpreters are humans, they may deliberately orunknowingly distort the meaning from the parties or the magistrate/Judge. I would like to conduct a research to find out if courtinterpreters influence the verdict of cases and sentences given. Thesis development Mytake in this topic is that indeed, court interpreters influence thecase verdict and sentences given. This perspective will form thefoundations for my thesis. My research will therefore be aimed topresent sufficient facts to prove the thesis that court interpretersinfluence the verdict of cases. Thesis Toimprove the efficiency of the judicial system in the United States, theJudiciary should sufficiently train its court interpreters to be ableto communicate the message from the source to the audience withoutdistortion.
