         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Reasoning:</strong><br>Jack presents a strong logical structure in his argument by referencing the American Medical Association’s definition of disease. He clearly states that obesity meets all three criteria: impairment, symptoms, and harm. This method of reasoning is objective and rooted in medical science. In contrast, James argues that obesity is simply a preventable risk factor caused by overeating. His reasoning lacks nuance, as it ignores genetic, psychological, and environmental factors that contribute to obesity.</p><p><strong>Use of Language:</strong><br>Jack uses formal, precise, and professional language throughout his argument. His tone is calm and informative, aiming to persuade through facts rather than emotion. He avoids blame and instead focuses on scientific definitions. James, however, uses more informal and slightly aggressive language. His tone leans toward judgmental, implying that obesity is purely a matter of poor personal choices.</p><p><strong>Evidence:</strong><br>Jack supports his claims with credible and expert-based sources, such as the AMA’s 2013 report and a quote from a Johns Hopkins physician. This makes his argument stronger and more persuasive due to its medical authority. The evidence he presents is both recent and relevant. James, on the other hand, uses general statistics about portion sizes and restaurant meals. While his data is interesting, it lacks expert support and does not directly prove that obesity is not a diseases </p><p><strong>Value:</strong></p><p>Jack’s argument is more likely to be accepted by medical professionals and the broader health community. It reflects a growing understanding that obesity is a complex condition, not just a matter of willpower. James’ perspective may appeal to people who believe strongly in personal responsibility. However, his argument risks being seen as biased and lacking compassion. Overall, Jack’s position is more balanced, evidence-based, and aligned with modern medical thinking</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>On the one hand Jack´s argument is more convincing because it has logical arguments, also it has <strong>a </strong>formal tone, the evidence support<strong>s</strong> the argument and <strong>it </strong>comes from <s>an</s> experts. <s>Other</s> <s>strengh</s> <strong>Another strength </strong>is that it <strong>has a</strong> <s>have</s> reliable source.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Fabricio De Blasi</p><p>Reasoning:</p><p>Jack's reasoning is more logical <strong>than</strong> James's reasoning because Jack mentions diseases that are caused by obesity in high aspects rather than James that involves himself more personally. Jack also cites the government <s>in order</s> to justify his arguments but he doesn't include the perspective of people who suffer this disease.</p><p><br/></p><p>Use of Language:</p><p>Jack is very direct and concise and has appropriate vocabulary but it <s>has</s> <strong>is </strong><s>a</s> sometimes "difficult to understand <s>language</s>" for people that doesn't know about the <strong>topic</strong> <s>theme</s>. James, meanwhile, has a clearer vocabulary that is easier to understand for people who doesn't understand properly <strong>know </strong>what this disease is about, James's tone is clear but personal.</p><p><br/></p><p>Evidence:</p><p>Jack's evidence is <s>really</s> sufficient to understand his idea because he has reliable source<strong>s</strong>. However, James gives a lot of background information that doesn't justify throughly his idea. So, it may confuse the reader.</p><p><br/></p><p>Value:</p><p>People will be more likely to agree more with Jack's opinion because they will be more likely to give credit to all the facts he provides. However, James's doesn't give clear information and he involves <strong>himself</strong> personally. Jack's <s>Bias</s> is very impersonal because he only gives attention to what the government and doctors said. Although, James is biased thinking that obesity is not a disease but a personal decision</p>]]></description>
