Question

Ladies and gentlemen, there are people living in our community today who need our help. These people have no beds to sleep on, no food to eat, and no clean water to drink. They are tired, hungry, and desperate. It is our responsibility to help these people. Don't you agree that something needs to be done right now? These people are feeling like rafts adrift on the ocean. They have no one to turn to and nowhere to go. I must have written a million letters to the council, but have had no response. That's why it is up to those of us here today to take action. What is the author's writing style?

Answer 1

The Author is trying to gain sympathy and using persuasive rhetoric so I feel it is Persuasive Writing

Answer 2

The author is trying to gain sorrow for the people in need of help so more will be able to help out. With this information I suggest the authors writing style would be persuasive.
