Persuasive Writing
Introduction
When you write a Persuasive essay, you form
arguments and present them for or against an
issue.
You have a strong personal stance and aim to
persuade the reader that your view on the issue
can be fully supported.
It is important, however, to be clear about the
difference in writing a Persuasive essay and in
writing an Argumentative essay.
What is the difference
between argumentative and
persuasive?
In writing an argumentative essay the writer examines
both sides of an issue in a balanced way, without a clear
personal stance and in a formal, neutral tone.
In a Persuasive essay the emphasis is on a more
personal, more emotional way of writing.
This is why in a Persuasive essay you are encouraged to
use techniques. Techniques help convey emotion.
Think of your essay as 50% argument and 50% emotion.
This should help you write an effective essay.
