A persuasive essay is suppose to convince someone or convey them to a certain topic or to engage people in an activity. It works just like pseudoscience, but it is more in trying to convince the reader to do something or inform the reader in a conveying topic.

The purpose of a pursuasive essay is to sway your reader to your side of an argument. An argument can be on topics such as I think my parents should get me a phone for my birthday. You may here this argumet all of the time.

A weak reason could be, I am now in the eighth (or whatever grade your in) and i think im old enough to have a phone.

^^^^^This would be a weak example because your saying your argument but not giving supporting details. If you want a strong, effective essay you want your reader to continue to read and know your whole thought process on the situation. To better an argument you should say:

I think I should get a phone for my birthday because I think I'm mature enough to use one now. My parents say the phones are bad for my eyes but they have one themselves. My mom knowns I go on the bus after soccer practice but what if i miss the bus? How will I get ahold of her if school is closed and nobodys there?


Hope this helps :)
