Persuasive essay
Persuasive writing, also known as the argument
essay, utilizes logic and reason to show that one idea
is more legitimate than another idea. It attempts to
persuade a reader to adopt a certain point of view or
to take a particular action. The argument must
always use sound reasoning and solid evidence by
stating facts, giving logical reasons, using examples,
and quoting experts.
