State that persuasive writing, known as creative writing or an
argument, is a piece of writing in which the writer uses words to
convince
the reader that the writer’s opinion is correct with regard to an issue.
Persuasive writing sometimes involves convincing the reader to perform
an action, or it may simply consist of an argument or several arguments
to align the reader with the writer’s point of view. Persuasive writing is
one of the most commonly used writing types in the world. Persuasive
writers employ many techniques to improve their arguments and show
support for their claim.
This type of writing is often used for advertising copy, which is
written in an attempt to get consumers to purchase specific products. It is
also a form of writing in which someone tries to get readers to agree with
a position. A well-written persuasive piece is supported with a series of
facts which help the author argue his or her point. Many authors also
include counterpoint arguments in their pieces which they can debunk,
showing readers that they have considered both sides of the argument at
hand, and that any arguments which could be raised against the side of
the written piece could be dismissed. In addition to facts, authors may
include anecdotes and hypothetical situations to build a stronger case.
