Other Forms of Persuasive Writing
An old expression goes, “If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.” You might instead say, “If you can’t stand the heat, get a fan.” You don’t have to put up with problems that you can solve. Sometimes you can solve the problem yourself, and other times you can get help—perhaps by writing a problem-solution letter. This chapter shows how.
You will also learn how to create a persuasive poster and develop a brochure—two more ways to convince others. And if you want just to complain about some minor problem, why not create a pet peeve essay? Finally, you will learn how to form a response to a persuasive prompt.
