The Persuasive/Narrative Essay (180 pts.) You choose the topic! For this essay, blend different essay modes to create a compelling essay that will engage and persuade your readers on a personal level. Your essay must exhibit characteristics of both the NARRATIVE and PERSUASIVE essay. A narrative essay tells a story with a purpose accompanied by picturesque details that bring it to life. It relies heavily on tone, voice, and description based on the five senses (taste/touch/sight/smell/hearing). Choose a true story that you find interesting. Ask yourself: Why am I compelled to tell this story? Stories are meant to “teach” us about a personal truth. What is your story trying to teach its audience? A persuasive essay, on the other hand, utilizes logic and reason to show the legitimacy of an idea that may be controversial (ex. the minimum wage should be increased, juveniles should be sentenced as adults, children should not be allowed to own cellphones). It attempts to persuade a reader to adopt a certain point of view or to take a particular action presented by the writer. The argument must always use sound reasoning and solid evidence by stating facts, giving logical reasons, using examples, and quoting experts. Keep in mind that an essay must have a subject, purpose, and audience. The success of an essay is based on the clarity and sufficiency of its examples. After reading your essay, your audience should have a clear understanding of the overall argument and its supporting evidence presented by you. Please utilize rhetorical concepts discussed in our readings and class discussions. Your essay MUST be at least 6 FULL (double-spaced) pages in length (not 5 and ½, not 5 and ¾ pages).
