Persuasive Writing Prewriting

1 Purpose, Subject, and Audience

In a persuasive essay, your purpose is to win your readers over to your point of

view—and sometimes to convince them to take an action that you recommend.

To achieve this purpose, you need to build a convincing, logical argument and

present it in a convincing and powerful way. The strategies that follow will help you

accomplish your purpose effectively.

Thinking your subject through carefully and marshaling the best possible evidence are

the surest ways to develop a good argument. If you take your time during prewriting,

you will be able to anticipate your opponents’ reactions and be ready for them.

chOOsIng a subject

The two most important aspects of a good argumentative subject are (1) that the subject

is genuinely controversial and (2) that you feel strongly about it. Brainstorm a list of

possible subjects about which you can say, “I believe,” while some other people would say,

“I don’t believe.” Use brainstorming, freewriting, clustering, or other strategies to narrow

your list of possible subjects. Then use the following guidelines to choose one.

Which two phrases in this excerpt from act three scene one of hamlet show Shakespeare’s use of similes
sleet_krkn [62]

Taking into account that a simile is a literary device used to compare two unlike things, the following examples provide a clear use of this resource in Shakespeare's masterpiece "Hamlet" (act three scene one):

King Claudios: <em>"For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither, that he, </em><em>as </em><em>'twere by accident, may here affront Ophelia."  </em>

Ophelia: "...<em>words of so sweet breath composed  </em><em>as</em><em> made the things more rich..."</em>

Words such as "like" or "as" help the reader identify the use of this figurative speech.
