Well okay, I'm trying to go back in time to think of a time when I tried to persuade someone to do something. I tried and am trying to get my boyfriend to quit smoking. He isn't necessarily addicted to the stuff, at least I don't think he is, but he does it every so often, and I wanted/want him to stop. I had learned about nicotine in my bio class about a month ago and so I had an abundance of facts, simple yet effective facts which will make a person think twice. I used the notes from class, I memorized everything there was to know about cigarettes, and I told him all about it. I told him all about the risks of cancer in almost every part of the body, how it affects the teeth, all that bad stuff. I think it was somewhat effective because he kind of looked at me kind of with this disgusted face, he had already known of some of the effects, but I went way deeper. He really has cut down on them,which is a really good thing. :)

Very good Mz. Jeter! You took a lot of time to know your material and have an effective talk with your boyfriend. As people we generally know the simple details on a lot of stuff but going more in depth and deeper into the subject can surely appeal or interest the audience member more. Once we learn the huge dangers of something we can feel more reluctant to decide on something. It's like when voting for a president or in any election. We can know about someone and just decide to vote for them based on the basic stuff we know about them. Or we can be informed and know about that individual or candidates goals and policies and what not and make a more informed decision and vote. Details and specifics on something can surely change a person’s point of view so good job.
