Persuasive Narrative Writing

The weather is perfect for racing: not too hot, not too humid, not too windy. I dash down the twisted trails in the woods, trying not to stumble on the gnarled roots protruding from the dirt. My spikes puncture the soft earth with every stride, and my legs repeatedly pound on the ground, soreness surging through them. As sweat trickles down my face and dirt smears across my aching calves, I ascend a steep hill, trying to bring forth the strength I have accumulated throughout endless hours of practice. Now that I am nearing the final two hundred meters, I must force my body to begin sprinting. Breathing heavily, I dart for the imminent finish line, trying to beat the uninterrupted tick of the timer. Even though the crowd surrounds all around me, I can barely hear their animated cheers, because all I can focus on is crossing the line before the girl next to me. I can feel adrenaline surging through my body, and I widen my stride to cap off the remaining distance. When I glance at my Garmin watch, a new personal best time flashes across the screen. I realize that all of the gruelling work I have put in is worth the final result: happiness. (Snapshot Lead)

The use of persuasive rhetoric writing can be helpful in the working world, especially when you need people to follow you. Using Ethos, is a way to approach your audience by establishing common ground, instead of coming off as authoritative. Even if someone doesn’t have the same views as you, if you acknowledge their values and beliefs, it’s easier to persuade them, because they see you do care about their opinion. As I move forward in any form of communication it is important to keep that in mind, and next year I’ll being using it a lot as president of CAC. Being the president of club means you have to communicate with your members, and the general public. CAC is involved in getting others to help, with the biggest event we hold, Relay for Life.

1. The last time I enjoyed writing something would have to be in the argument and arguing class I took. In that class we got to construct persuasive essays, which was interesting, but the real fun came when we were asked to pick apart other students essays. When tasked with this it becomes extremely fun as the source gathering for many students was either using selective information, or outright lies. Using that, you could essentially tear into anyone fragmenting their arguments and leaving you with a nice sense of satisfaction that I really only get when I prove my superiority over someone in a quasi-powertrip.

I didn’t mean to kill her. It was a total accident. You have to believe me. Let me tell you the truth...so you know what really happened to Monica.

Good question. I feel that persuasive writing does not put pressure on their reader but gives their reader another way of looking at a topic. My suggestion to you is to stick to the facts and back your statement with reliable research. Your reader will come to their own conclusion that is persuasive by you.

I am doing a writing about my writing. Sounds weird right? I would have never considered myself as much as a writer; until I learned in class that I do a lot more writing than I ever thought I did. As it turns out writing can be any form of communication and I was unaware of that.

It’s easy to get caught up in the argument that college writing is just a tool one must use while in college. While that may be true, in the long run that dreaded writing will become an important skill even long after finishing school. Writing is what can help smooth the path to your professional and personal goals. How can it smooth the journey? Well, besides improving critical thinking, writing improves speech and reading and has increasingly become an important job skill.

Finally, showing consideration for the readers can persuade them effectively. Knowing the audience when writing can prevent any offense that audience might feel, which can narrow the distance of the author and the readers. This is explained further by the author of the “persuasive writing” that understanding the audience is vital because it is important not to offend them, as it will definitely turn them off to any persuasion. Furthermore, showing consideration for the audience by corresponding to their needs can convince them as well. The author from Colorado State University suggests that writers can persuade the audience by matching the writing style with the needs of the audience. For example, he states “an audience looking for logic will

As we are nearing our destination our bus driver yells out “I am going to stop at this gas station and fill up.” When our bus driver came back onto the bus he exclaimed “The gas station is out of gasoline so we will stay here overnight.” Then, everyone in the bus started grunting and moaning. “But guys we can make this fun if we tell stories to pass the time, Here, I will start.” I said. And we began telling each other our stories.

The first aspect of writing: The writer (ethos) which is the identity of the writer as

Think about this: what do you do when you see a man proposing to a girl? Do you savor that moment and think about how it might happen to you. Or do you whip out your phone and take a picture or video, and think, this is going to be cool to show my friends! Let's try another scenario: you're walking along and you see a deer! Oh, what a majestic deer! Are you going to take a picture, potentially scaring it away, or do you smile at it and stare for a while looking at its glorious beauty. Last one: you're driving and you see a car crash and flip over. What do you do? Is your first instinct to run over to the car and help the person in need by calling 911 or getting them out of the car, or are you going to take you your phone and record the whole

Raelynn was breaking. She was losing control of herself, the tightly leashed grip she had on every facet of her life was literally being handled over to this demon. To be honest, she didn't know if she enjoyed or despised it - perhaps both in fact. It was gratifying in some part to let someone this close to her and press their wants onto her, but it was also terrifying to her; what would they do? Actually, there was no surprise as to what Deathwing wanted from her; he was practically already telling her murmur by murmur, kiss by kiss, what he wanted.

With a hectic schedule already on my plate, the second week of class was packed with assignments. I found myself struggling to keep up with my high-demand business schedule in addition to writing a memo about change, creating 2 PowerPoint presentations with corresponding handouts, and participating in a discussion board. Sometimes, I wonder how I even find time to sleep.

Narrative-based persuasion is fairly new to me, however, I have had a little experience with this genre in the past. Though this genre isn’t entirely new to me, I still struggle with a couple aspects. The hardest part about writing this genre for me is actually coming up with the anecdote that the narrative is actually based off of. My struggle can be seen between the first draft and the final copy of this essay as I completely restructured which anecdote was the main focus.
