The Childlike “I’m Right, You’re Wrong”

When you think somebody is wrong, you and that other person should talk to each other about what you disagree about; persuasive is just a big word to say that you want to tell someone else why you are right and they are wrong. But you shouldn’t just keep saying, “I’m right, I’m right!” You have to make the other person have feelings (sad so they agree with you, happy so they agree with you, or something like that), you have to use facts about why you are right, and you have to find people who agree with you and use their words to make you look smarter than the other person. Then you can’t say that you made it all up, you have to tell everybody that you found people who agree with you and you let them help you be more right. When you feel like you’ve said all you can to prove that you are right, you have to think about why the other person might be right and then work even harder to prove them wrong.

  1. Wow, you managed to explain how to effectively write a persuasive paper so that anyone could understand. I like the way you explained the Toulmin Method better than how I explained it. I went for a more definition based explanation, where as you were less literal and more overall based. I like how you gave tips to help people side with your opinion. You incorporated logos, pathos, and ethos without actually mentioning them. This makes your explanation especially useful for younger audiences.
