Persuasive Writing vs. Argumentative Writing 

    • How is persuasive writing different from argument writing?
      Persuasive writing differs from argument writing in a number of ways. In persuasive writing the purpose is to convince the reader to think as the writer thinks. This might include using techniques such as slanting or spinning the message, accentuating details that support the writer’s cause and downplaying details that oppose the writer’s point of view. The purpose of argument writing is to present a balanced, objective, convincing argument. While the reader may not agree with the writer they should come away with the idea that the writer’s point of view is valid and worthy of consideration.  For more information, visit the page below.
