Depend on who you're trying to persuade. Depending on the subject, the audience may be different, so the need for persuasion may have a different appeal. If it's a tragic novel, it may call for emotional and ethical persuasion. In a murder mystery, for example, it may call for logical and rational persuasion. In a fiction novel, it may call for facts and evidence, especially if evidence is needed to be cited. And most often times, persuasion includes interests and opinions, so don't worry about that one.

Both excerpts are examples of science fiction, and they both describe machines that attack humans. However, the Campbell excerpt is an example of hard sci-fi because the style and narration places emphasis on the functionality and complexity of a certain technology—in this case, a rocket ship. The “Richard” excerpt is an example of social sci-fi since the purpose of the futuristic technology is not simply in its function, but more in its effect on humanity. In the Campbell excerpt, the push of a button brings a machine to life. The function and the structure of the machine is given emphasis. In the “Richard” excerpt, the effect the machines have on people is given emphasis. One of the survivors even speaks about the machine as if it were a person.
