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.
