Appeals- Appeals attempt to persuade through emotional
manipulation; targeting of particular interests or concerns. There are
many different types of appeals.
• Appeal to Reason (a.k.a. rational appeal)- This is persuasive
writing that appeals to the part of humans that likes to think.

emotions, such as our love of country, family, peace, and justice, as
well as to our fear and hatred of the things that threaten us.
• Appeal to Authority- This is when writers rely on their authority,
credibility, or general character.
Rhetorical question- This type of question does not really need
an answer, as the answer is quite obvious. The writer uses this
for effect, or to emphasize a point.
Expert opinion- The opinion of experts or authority in the
particular field will further boost their argument in the issue
being discussed.
Inclusive language- Using the words ‘we’ or ‘us’ in your writing
will make the reader feel that he or she is a part of it and may get
him or her to your side.
