In this article we are not going to talk about what the persuasive essay is. Your major goal is clear from the very name of this kind of essay. You have to persuade the reader of your point of view. Instead, we would like to talk about some ways of making your persuasive essay effective.

Persuading is not easy. Every person has his/her point of view on many problems, events and so on. To make somebody change his/her viewpoint you need to have a lot of evidences. However, not only the amount of evidences will influence the success of your persuasive essay. You can have 10 evidences, but they will not be sound. You may have several evidences, but they will be really strong and reasonable.

This is what you need to learn to write your persuasive essay effectively. You should know how to distinguish true and false information. You should be critical and skeptical, but not cynical.  So, let us think how you should give the evidences in your essay.

•    First, you should always do the cross-checking. It means you should not rely on one source of information. Especially, if you have some doubts on a certain statement, it is necessary to check this information in another source.
•    There are several questions that you should ask when checking the information. They are: who is the author; when and where the work was written; under what circumstances the work was written and so on. Such an analysis allows you to stay unbiased and critical when evaluating the evidences.

In persuasive essay your purpose is to persuade your reader in accuracy of your personal assumptions on a certain problem. What can you write about in your persuasive essay? Well, let us help you.

Not far all people believe in paranormal phenomena. If you do, you can write your persuasive essay about it. Below you can find the issues that can serve you as good supporting ideas for your persuasive essay.

•    Many people saw their dead relatives or friends in reality. Sometimes the dead even forecast the future. Interview some people who have aver met the dead in reality. Prepare a list of questions you will ask and state the results of the interview on a paper. Some things that you will get to know from your interviewees can really prove that that was true;
•    Indian yogis can keep their bodies in air for some time. For a long time scientists from American and Russian exploratory institutes tried to find the answer to this phenomena but they failed. There is no scientific explanation to paranormal phenomena like this. So, use the internet sources to find the info on the attempts of scientists to explain that phenomenon, and you will get good evidences for your persuasive essay;
•    Some people are mediums of unseen world. Have you ever seen the movie, called “Stigmata”? A vivid picture of people suffering from the contact with unseen world is presented there. Hardly will you risk interviewing such people, though, it would be rather interesting. Just find any information online on these people. There must certainly be any interviews in newspapers or magazines. So, make use of them to support your assumption.

The topic of emancipation seems to be the perfect one for the persuasive essay. Do you have your point of view on the issue? Do you want someone else to hear your position? Then you have to learn writing the persuasive essay. Only persuasive essay will teach you how to convince other people of your standpoint.

So, let us return to the topic of emancipation. If you want to discuss it in your work, first define your position. If I had to write such an essay, my position towards emancipation would be neutral. I am not strongly against it nor am I strongly for it.

Let me give you some explanations. Sure, I do not want to say that I do not like the rights that the modern women have. I am glad that women can vote, can hold the leading positions in various spheres of life, can be just independent and self-sufficient.

On the other hand, I do not get why women want to be stronger than men. Why do women want to prove that they do not need men? It seems to be so unnatural and irrational. I am sure that this is really against all the natural laws. At all times men and women were living together. Only together they can be a real power. If we consider the simplest example of a family with both typical parents, we will see that such a family is firm and really happy.

Thus, I cannot get some strong feminists. Why do you want to break the universal values? It would be better if you do something really useful.

When being assigned to write different types of essay, you have to learn how to sound persuasively, no matter what kind of essay you are working on. If you are interested in getting to know the main secrets of persuading people, this article is just for you. Following the tips given will help you write a brilliant persuasive essay.

Provide reasonable explanations to support your position. People tend to trust to evidences only. If you just state information dryly, nobody will ever be persuaded or able to accept your position. The data taken from different newspapers, journals and research papers can serve you as good evidences to support your point of view. You can also use the results of interviews with experts conducted as means of supporting your statement;

Choose the statements that are possible to prove. A thesis statement of your persuasive essay should be clear enough and possible to prove. Hardly have you got super-brains for proving something impossible to prove. Neither you will be able to take two tangos. Why should you beat your head out trying to support a statement that does not make any sense?

Supply your persuasive essay with quotations. Quotations, especially the set-expressions, make rather a persuasive effect on people. Just format a certain set-expression or any quotation according to the rules, and your persuasive essay will certainly sound persuasively enough.

To sound persuasively does not mean that you should obtrude your personal point of view. Just let your reader make a choice. And a reader will certainly choose your position.

I am sure that every student wants to know if his/her work has been done successfully. For instance, you have written a persuasive essay. Are not you interested whether it is effective and really persuasive? How can you find out the real results of your work?

I think that the best way to assess the success of your persuasive essay is the reaction of your peers. It is obvious that all the works trigger different reaction. According to it you can understand whether you have written a good persuasive essay or a kind of claptrap.

Thus, when you are presenting your work in the class, mind the next aspects:

Pay attention to the behavior of your peers. They can be listening attentively to you or listen to music in their headphones. They can be silent trying to understand every word of your work or they can be chatting with each other.

The questions that will be asked after the presentation can also tell you a lot. If there are no or a little questions, it is more likely that nothing significant or new was presented in your essay.

Still, the best indicator of your essay success is the situation in the class after the presentation. You can be just asked a few questions or the heated debates can start after the presentation. The latter situation is the most favorable for you. Even if you hear the critical comments, you can be sure that your work is really effective. It did not leave somebody from your peers indifferent.

So, this is how you can assess the success of your work.

If you have a chance to check your abilities to persuade people, writing a persuasive essay is just for you. You may choose any degree of complexity to check whether you are able to persuade people in anything or not and write your persuasive essay on it. So, what topics could be interesting to consider in your persuasive essay?

• Persuade your reader that unidentified flying object exists. Do you not believe in it yourself? There are a huge number of different scientific sources saying that UFO was observed by usual people and, moreover, some of them contacted their representatives. Present day science can prove everything, including this. So, if you doubts about reliability of the sources, try to understand the principle according to which UFO is proved to exist, and make sure by yourself;
• Persuade your reader in immorality of present day show-business. Present day pop-stars acted in clips fully-naked. Do you consider that modern show-business has rights to exist? Do you consider such clips can be shown to small children? If no, provide enough reasonable explanations. Be confident and do not be afraid to express your personal point of view on the problem you are considering;
• Persuade your reader that Egyptians are the followers of Atlantes. Even Plutarch in his works mentioned about magic charms that Egyptians inherited from Atlantes. Besides, there were some similarities in appearances of both Egyptians and Atlantes that argues that Egyptians are the followers of the most ancient civilization – Atlantic civilization.

So, I guess these tips can really raise your reader’s interest. In order to check whether you managed to persuade your reader in your assumptions, read your persuasive essay to anyone. If he/she is convinced, your purpose is achieved.

     Sometimes it happens that you read your persuasive essay and cannot understand what is wrong with it. It seems to be well-organized and rather interesting, but you feel that there is something unnatural in your persuasive essay.

     I will tell you what makes you suspicious about your persuasive essay. It is the way your sentences are organized. Such sentences can be called unbalanced. Actually, there can be just one word or a small phrase that does not fit the general structure of the sentence, and it can spoil the whole sound.

     I will give you an example:

I hate travelling by public transport and to walk

I hate travelling by public transport and walking

     You see that the second sentence sounds more natural, and it is only a verb form that makes it so. The thing is that there is and that divides the sentence into two parts. It is essential that the both parts have the same verb forms.

      Now I think you understand that such small details can make your essay easy to read or make it choppy. The best way to avoid unnatural sound of your essay is proofreading. You will notice some inaccuracies in the sentences and will be able to correct them.

     It is also going to be useful if another person reads your work. An unbiased eye (or ear) will reveal unnatural sentences right away. You will definitely get a helpful advice on the necessary corrections that can be made.

     Thus, you should take seriously such part of your work as proofreading.

Last year I had a really funny occurrence, which I used for my persuasive essay. What is the main purpose of the persuasive essay? Right, in your persuasive essay you learn to convince somebody of something.

This is exactly what happened to me. I had to convince my mom of making a completely crazy (form her standpoint) thing. I wanted to bring a snake to our house.

Well, the thing is my friend had to live for half a year and this snake was his pat. He asked me to take care of it while he is away. I agreed at once and told him “Wow! Sure I will take your snake. I will buy it mice and will add the water to its bowl”. As you can guess, I did not ask anybody from my household whether they want to see the snake or not.

The truth was revealed just in a few days before the snake had to arrive. My mom was shocked. She said “No, no, no. No snakes in my house. I cannot stand them, they are awesome”. You even cannot imagine what I had to tell my mom to convince her of the complete harmlessness of the snake.

This is what I told her:

The snake is actually rather small. It is not a 3 metre python that can eat a goat. It eats small mouse once in two weeks.

This snake is not poisonous. It looks like the most poisonous snake in the world, but in reality this one does not have teeth, which contain venom.

Finally, nobody is going to be bothered with this snake. It lives peacefully in its aquarium and never comes out. So, I guess in a week everybody will forget about its presence in our house.

So, finally, I managed to persuade my mom and she was not against the snake.

4.In order to persuade a person with your essay, you should prove logically and consequently the correctness of the idea.

These keys will help you to persuade everyone with your persuasive essay.

In order to make your essay persuasive you need to know about two things: what an essay is, and how it is better to persuade someone.

Let us explain these two things separately. I hope you know that an essay is a written piece of student’s work, which can be prepared in a short period of time.
This kind of work demonstrates student’s abilities to express the thoughts logically and briefly. Also, it is important to present the topic and explain it.

When you deal with the persuasive essay, it is necessary to know the purpose of your writing. In this case your goal is to persuade! You are to persuade your readers that the chosen by your idea is correct and up to the point.

Your persuasive essay is the text of about 300 words, where you try to tell your readers about your own point of view and make them believe that your opinion should be taken into consideration.

Also, in order to make your persuasive essay a high-quality, I advise you remember when you were a child. I mean the time, when you could easily ask your parents to buy you something and they could not deny you.

Find interesting evidence and make your readers accept your truth like it may be done by the professional hypnotizes. Your words should not be “empty ones”. You can not give empty promises. It is not a style of a professional writer. Still, you are good at writing and you can easily find several reasons, which make your readers follow your propositions!
