In the process of learning about the genre of persuasive writing I have gained unique experiences. As I did lack the initial knowledge regarding the mode of persuasive writing I faced some major problems. When I was first given the task of writing a persuasive essay, I fumbled almost at every step. The primary difficulty which I suffered from was the lack of knowledge of how to formulate an attention grabbing sentence in the introductory section of the persuasive essay. Moreover, I did also face the problem of formulating valid questions in answer to which I was supposed to construct my persuasive essay. Initially I failed to compose a perfect persuasive essay but was not discouraged by this as I realized that myriads of my classmate who were given the task of formulating a persuasive essay also met with the problems which I did face. Hence, I was assured of the fact that the art of persuasion needs a considerable degree of practice before mastering it. Moreover, as now I have a fair knowledge of persuasive writing, I would like to use it in the sphere of educational and professional sphere. I am thinking upon convincing my professor to give me a chance of giving an oration on the issue of price hike of fuel in front of my classmate and I am planning to convince the professor by writing to him a persuasive letter which will surely able to secure the permission through the act of convincing. Furthermore, in the realm of my professional career I would like to formulate a persuasive cover letter and applications that can aptly convince any potential employer to provide me a chance of serving his/her esteemed company. But one thing I should confess right now that still now I am having difficulty in incorporating a proper analogy in my persuasive writings. And I am sure that if I am not quick enough in learning how to depict similarities in concept in two different perspectives, I will not be able to compose a good persuasive piece of writing. Hence, I think that the difficulty of incorporating proper mode of analogy should only be wiped out through more and more knowledge about persuasive writing.
