Editorial and Opinion Pieces

Chapter Thirteen brought me back to my high school days. When reviewing all of the editorials I could recall sitting in my English class reading pieces of work very similar. It also reminded me of my favorite style of essays to compose, persuasive! Each of the editorials displayed their take on a topic or issue, whether it was obvious or hidden through their text. The author's wrote in a style so that the readers would be convinced to agree with their statements. This parallels the style of persuasive essays, although not exactly. Persuasive essays, in my opinion, are the most entertaining to write especially if it is on a topic you are truly passionate about. For myself in particular, I love to write persuasive essays because I am very opinionated and I love to argue. I am constantly fighting with people around me, debate after debate, to see my side of every situation, as well as trying to convince them that I am right. This is where my mother and I have the same genes, leading to continual arguments. Persuasive writings, just like opinion pieces and editorials have a wide range of what can be discussed. Anything from where you stand on smoking cigarettes to how you feel about animal abuse. Opinion is most fun when you like what you are writing about. This is beneficial because when writing editorials or opinion pieces, these people are doing so because they are fervent about the topic or issue at hand.
