What Is A Persuasive Writing?

Persuasive writing aims to sway readers to a particular viewpoint through logical arguments and emotional appeal. It presents supporting information for the thesis statement alone, mentioning counterarguments only to discredit them. This writing skill clearly conveys ideas in a structured and convincing manner, influencing people to believe in causes or take actions. To write persuasively, an introduction should state the topic, present both sides briefly, and clearly outline the author's position and three supporting reasons. Each body paragraph then focuses on one reason with a topic sentence, relevant examples, and a closing remark tying the examples to the sentence. The conclusion summarizes the three reasons uniquely and calls to action or solution.

PERSUASIVE WRITING

1. What is a persuasive writing?


- Persuasive writing is a form of argumentative writing that presents logical arguments with emotional
appeal in order to sway readers to a particular point of view. Where an argumentative essay introduces both
sides of a debate and allows the reader to make an informed choice, a persuasive essay is about the inclusion
of information that supports your thesis statement, only involving counterarguments as a means to discredit
them.
- Persuasive essay writing is a useful writing skill. It allows a writer to clearly present their ideas in a
structured and convincing way. Persuasive writing can be powerful, influencing people to believe in a
cause and putting out a call to action, like donating to a certain charity or voting for a particular political
candidate.
- A persuasive essay — also called a position paper or argument essay — is a piece of academic writing
in which you employ logic and evidence to convince a reader to accept your point of view.
