A counterclaim refers to the arguments made by a writer to show that the opposing opinions are incorrect or invalid. The counterclaims are often made from a personal view which allows readers to add their personal opinions to the argumentative essay. The counterclaim also improves the whole quality of the essay as it offers the readers with space to make their personal interpretations of the argument and reliability. The quality of the counterclaim also shows the level of skill and research done when writing the argumentative essay. It depicts the ability of the writer to apply different viewpoints and perspectives using critical thinking skills.
