Here are some great examples of persuasive articles, any of which
would fit the criteria for the Essay #2 assignment. The first article
is from 1977 and contains one of the examples in our rhetorical appeals
handout. The rest are from the opinion pages of the websites I've
suggested. Skim through the articles and see if they spark your
interest; if not, let the articles lead you to other articles on their
pages. At the end if this post I've also included websites for you to
search.

ReplyDeletethey are pretty persuasive, pretty preeeettttyyy preeeeetttyy persuasive. and yes, everyone who sees this: WATCH "CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM" it will change your life. srs.
DeleteI thought the article "Who says there is no solution to bullying" was good. Althought the author didnt address naysayers.
DeleteI think that it does not matter whether the article is persuasive, but rather if the persuasive language used is effective and does not have any logical fallacies.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alec. It doesn't really matter if the article is persuasive just if the persausive language is used effectivly.
